IRST and Radar lock interfaces are pretty much identical on HUD. It is impossible to lock with radar or missle head as R-27 are not fox 3.

Maybe you are referring to IR (ТП) lock ?

In the hmd a solid circle with cross is a radar and ir lock...but if the radar is off why does it still show that symbol? In other words, what's activating the radar if its in a "no illumination" mode?

1. EKV/dummy is an auto mode, if you put Reese there it should turn on automatically when needed 

2. yes HMD symbology is same for radar or IRST lock. Two dashed circles. And right now it’s impossible to use radar with HMS.

I believe I figured out the problem,,, in the irst video by grim reapers the same picture you posted above which is from the manual, is different from the one he shows in the vid.., its labeled on top as ir and radar lock above the solid circle with cross. Which I interpeted as a radar lock.He even comments about it in the vid as thinking the radar was off and was surprised to see it was on. This is what confused me. I expected a broken circle as my radar was off. I will grab a screen shot to illustrate what I mean and post it here ,then you can see my confusion.So the question now is, does the hmd lock method alert the target with radar illumination by automatic comming on when locking in hmd? I assumed it was a stealthy mode.
