If you have more questions about modern radars, take a look in KZbin for DCS videos. Those guys love pushing and prodding at avionics, so there's a wealth of deep-dive information out there. They may also cover Soviet Radars more thoroughly than I did, though I myself was having trouble coming up with clear information.
