In December of 2019, it was reported about the intercession on combat duty the first regiment with the "YARS" at Barnaul.

It was reported that Yoshkar-Ola, Teikovo, Nizhny Tagil, Novosibirsk and Irkutsk formations were fully re-equipped with mobile-based Yars. At that time, the Kozelsky (stationary-based) and Barnaul (mobile-based) formations were in the active phase of rearmament.
