A minimum of 2 SAM launcher batteries, each consisting a minimum of 4 Slant angle/VLS SAM launcher of TEL/TELAR/Semi-mobile types, 2 mobile engagement radars, a support platoon and 2 maintenance and engineering platoon units. The missiles are designed to be launched from their transport canister, but can also designed to launch these missiles without the canister.

A SPU-50 battalion will first deployed for provide a multi-tiered aerospace defence in Yeltsingrad. Many newspaper are reporting that several Field Construction Troops of the Ikheria Army are building seven new fixed SAM sites near Yeltsingrad. This even attract Federal Representative Council for calling six high-ranking Ikheria Army and Ikheria Air Force officer in a parliamentary inquiry about this system. Citizen even also don't know about this program until now.
After some consultation with the General Staff of the IFDF, the Anti-Air Gun system are now designated as 5Sy105 Vostok (East). In addiction, the plan to develop the fixed version are abandoned. Because with that, the Ikheria Army are now reusing them as main launching site for mobile units.
