Cygnus X-3, a Galactic X-ray binary, shows the presence of outflows in the form of radio jets. The SED in the X-ray band shows a complicated structure and evolution. We review some recent results of the long-term correlation of the radio and X-ray emissions, chiefly in the low (hard) states of the source. Comparing the results with those of other Galactic microquasars, we attempt to provide a consistent picture of the accretion — ejection mechanism in these sources.
