RuAF have received first 10 new NEBO-U long range antistealth radars
working in the range of meter's waves.

Meter wavelengths? You mean the same ones com/nav radios use?

He probably does.

The article on the F-117 kill (http://www.aeronautics.ru/f117down.htm)
indicates that the kill was from two SA-6 missiles.

But... The inbound tracking was reportedly accomplished by a 1950's vintage
Soviet radar operating in the 165 - 190 cm range (158 - 181 MHZ). Useful
for ground-based early warning, but pretty much useless for fire control
purposes.

Both the Germans and Brits realized that stuff was near useless in WW2.

True for any sort of precise tracking, mapping and fire control.

Cape Matapan?

The big
Chain Home and German early warning systems were easy targets.

Chain Home certainly was not.
