SA-17 has a 30 kilometre range so that shouldnt be a problem! Its firing units can disperse in 10 x 10 km area. SA-17 is probably the best AA-system that Soviet armed forces has in Poland. Problem is that it is quite heavy burden (fuel, manpower etc.) in single battery there is command & control vehicle, radar vehicle, 3-6 firing units, 1-3 reloading vehicles + technical support & close protection infantry.
If you want use SA-17, use just one firing unit (its possible to use them independently) or C&C + Radar + 1-2 firing units. Its a bit unrealistic that a full battery would have survived?
