Still cannot figure it out how U-2 get behind the "herring bone" in such "bone-yard"


U2 might simply exceeded the S25/205 system capabilities of 1956.

At that time, it was designed to kill subsonic intercontinental bombers (with huge RCS), flying at approx ~10km alt.
(no capabilities against receding targets)

As you can see in this diagram, you had to launch between 42..34km to be able to hit, before the U2 flown above 62 degrees elevation (above your scanning sector).
No APP included, just manual time calculation.

The B-200 in 1956 had only 2MW power output, and approx ~40km max target detection range against an Il-28.

The U2 had approx half RCS of the Il-28, so max target detection range against the U2 is...

If there would be an S-25 SAMSIM, than it would be surely included as a challenging scenario.
We know its track, it simply followed the Minsk-Moscow rail track towards the Myasishchev factory in Fili.
