While Iīm strictly civilian I had to learn something about military capabilities and tactics out of necessity. In the end the radar is more than precise enough to locate a flying grenade better than 1 m. The catch is the radar needs a line of sight, and canīt look beyond the horizon. So it has to interpolate the firing position a bit. But in the end itīs precise enough to dump the own grenades inside their killrange of the emeny artillery / mortars.
The last time I had to read about that was a decade ago, and tech was making rapid progress as well as the mathematical methods and the computer hardware. Also connecting sevral counter radars together give a much closer resolution. So I would guess, the resolution now is even better.
