S-75 Dvina equipment records. Variants, orders and quantities are shown as reported in each inventory source; coverage is incomplete.
AngolaReported count for S-75M Volkhov. Service scope: National Air Force of Angola; does not replace a national total. 1 distinct count cell(s) from the same source list; shared rowspan cells counted once. Retired, wholly reserve and on-order rows are excluded; the reported count retains any explicitly mixed stock scope in the quoted row. Count column(s): in service: 40. Origin: Soviet Union. The listed variants/roles are the scope, not an immediately deployable count. Dates are the count-cell citations' stated source period (2021), not the article revision. 2021 cited publication year. Edition or publication years do not claim an exact inventory census day.

Equipment reference ↗Air Force exact named equipment holdings of S-75 Dvina (RS-SA-2 Guideline). Active, operational-reserve and training units excluding equipment in store; November 2025 IISS assessment. Named service only, not a national or parent-force total or combat-readiness measure. Source role(s): AIR DEFENCE / Medium-range. No heading aggregate, carried armament, crew, payload, factory production or future order count inherited. Source plus sign gives a lower bound of at least 179; no upper bound is invented. Missile-system inventories count launchers or self-propelled launcher systems, not missiles or warheads; no conversion into missile rounds. Source parentheses retain employment, lease, reporting designation, alternate model, or included-subset scopes exactly. Own fetched primary and alternate/model identity declarations are retained. Numbers inside an included subset are part of the printed count and are never added again; no sibling or parent specification is copied.
