Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. 2 (a sequel to 2009 game, Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X) is an arcade-style combat flight simulator video game released in 2010. The game features a story campaign featuring Major Alex Hunter (a pilot from High Altitude Warfare – Experimental (HAWX) squadron), Captain Dimitri Ivanovich Sokov of Russian Air Force, Lieutenant Colin Munro of the British Royal Navy and Colonel David Crenshaw of HAWX squadron, as they deal with a plot by Russian ultranationalists to seize power over Russia, possibly influenced by Megiddo. The game begins with Colonel Crenshaw piloting a routine patrol mission in the Middle East. After stopping an insurgent attack, a volley of cruise missiles is fired at the Prince Faisal Air Force Base where Crenshaw is about to land. One of the missiles disables Crenshaw's aircraft, resulting in Crenshaw being captured by the enemy. A Ghost Recon squad and an AC-130U gunship from H.A.W.X. rescue Crenshaw. After his rescue, Crenshaw stays on board an aircraft carrier due to an injured arm and commands a remote surveillance operation with agent Drachev of the Russian Voron agency. Following the recon mission, H.A.W.X. and the U.S. military conduct a large scale military operation to eliminate the insurgents and secure the region. The operation spans three days of fighting during which H.A.W.X. flies several missions. Meanwhile, Russia is at a civil war with its separatists. Despite the best efforts of its pilots – Colonel Denisov and Captain Sokov - Russian military bases fall to the separatists. In the aftermath of the fall, the Russian Air Force is sent to support Spetsnaz in recovering stolen nuclear warheads from the separatists. They recover only two out of the three warheads and their transport aircraft is shot down during extraction. Denisov and Sokov provide air support to the best of their abilities, but their commanding officer General Morgunov orders them to blow up the Nevskaya Dam, allegedly to flood the region and prevent the warheads from falling into enemy hands. In the aftermath, a nuclear warhead is detonated in the Romashkino oil field, crippling Russia's energy supplies. Consequently, Russian Ultranationalists seize control of Russia and start a war with Europe to obtain the much-needed resources by force. While Sokov is piloting a UAV to kill the separatist leaders, Drachev contacts him and has him listen on a phone call between one of the separatists members and General Morgunov, revealing that the events in Russia had been a ruse for the Russian ultranationalists to sabotage Russia's energy industry and seize control of the Russian government. After being privy of the truth, Sokov escapes on a Su-30 and defects to Crenshaw with the incriminating evidence. H.A.W.X. then undertakes an operation to secure one of the remaining warheads in Cape Town. Meanwhile, the Royal Navy repels an assault by the Russian Navy and pushes deep into Russian waters. When the combined forces of the United States and Europe take the war to the Russian lands, H.A.W.X. and Sokov fly a mission on Moscow. The Kremlin is captured by a Ghost Recon squad but Morgunov, who seems to have gone mad, flees to a Russian ICBM launch facility. He intends to launch nuclear missiles at every major city of the world, allegedly to kill the so-called mysterious people who control everyone and everything including him and Russia. H.A.W.X. is sent in support of the ground forces to capture or destroy the facility. Denisov and his pilots fight H.A.W.X. and are killed. In a last-ditch effort, Morgunov activates Russian orbital laser platforms and wipes out all H.A.W.X. planes except Hunter's, who destroys the underground command bunker, killing Morgunov in it. Crenshaw swears to nominate Hunter for every medal in the United States military.
