**************************
One thing I've just realised is that Iran may have bought the 96L6E radar in its S-300 system to act in a similar way against stealth targets as Bavar-373. Just like Bavar, Iran's S-300 (SA-20C as the Americans call it) at the battery level has an S-band* acquisition radar (96L6E) and an X-band engagement radar (30N6E2), while the missiles use SAGG guidance. Remains to be seen if the S-300 needs any software modifications to properly operate in this mode, but it does seem possible.
*There's disagreement over whether it's S-band, L-band or even C-band.
