What is this radar symbology?

[Pickle72]

Probably a silly question but I can't find an answer. I thought it was a bug on my system but I just watched one of Matt Wagner's videos and its on his radar too. What on earth is the cross? Does it represent #1 priority in RWS?

Oh boy, looks like two triangels.

Btw, good question.

29 triangles has been the ESM bearing of Mig-29 radars.

Yes I get the same. I get it with Friendly Tgts as well as Hostiles. Does this mean the Aircraft is jamming? The thing is I am still able lock it up or get Alt/Speed Info if I slew the TDC over the cross.

I searched high and low for an explanation of the symbology.

The cross the is Auto Acquisition Cue and represents the highest priority trackfile. This is the track that will become the L&S when pressing NWS/Undesignate or will become STT target when SS switch pressed toward radar display.
