As I stated before, no Wiki/Janes statement used... Could you get a bit more detailed about your comment? I believe such a maneuver could be succesful against UPR guided missile.

Personnaly I think that 75 series are pretty succesful system (not forgeting it was just the "mobile" analog of S-25 "Berkut", designed for defending against strategic bombers)... The fact they traded speed against G-capabilities in 5Ya23 just confirms some shortcommings in the design against maneuvering targets...
