They used observers.  During the 'war of attrition' between Israel
and Egypt (1967-70) the Egyptians used a network of observers and
control centers to track down low flying Israeli bombers, quite
effectively.  Since this method is of Soviet origin, it could probably
be used against the B-2.  Never underestimate the power of low-tech methods.
