The Russian military has been armed with the first batch of the new Flox 120mm wheeled self-propelled howitzer/mortar carrier. The Rostec Corporation says that the ACS is capable of using ammunition that was developed for the Vena self-propelled 120mm mortar system. Previously, it was stated that in terms of its power, high-explosive shells used with the 2S31 Vena self-propelled gun-mortars were comparable to the shells of 152-155mm caliber, while given the high accuracy of firing.

The number of systems in the first batch of Flox is not reported, and there are no other delivery details available. It is noted that the 120mm gun is capable of firing artillery shells and mortar rounds.
