Canada also send aid to fix the grid instead of (allegedly) the weapons we had planned. I think a lot has been tied up since the infrastructure campaign, and that’s still with a refusal to target bridges and tunnels, train stations, I imagine anywhere they may escalate by killing too many NATO people, like at the depots near the Polish border where Ukraine takes delivery of western systems.

Missiles are cheaper than power plants and that leak said lol three strikes will completely deplete Ukrainian SAMs, so I guess they can time it for their goals.

A mysterious volcanic island.
The heavy tremors on the island bode ill for its inhabitants. Ancient temples have risen from the ground recently, bizarre creatures are terrorizing the area. Fear and terror is spreading among the population.

The end of all hope?
A group of powerful men who call themselves "The Inquisitors" have taken it upon them-selves to put an end to these events. They send an expedition to this remote island, but a storm takes hold of the ship and destroys it at sea.

A hero will come.
As if by a miracle, you survive the shipwreck and are stranded on the volcanic island alone. You find yourself amidst a chaos of rebellion, tyranny, and mystic rituals. It is up to you to decide to which side the pendulum of fate will swing.

Delve into a gritty, raw, and atmospheric fantasy world in which every action has a consequence. In the epic world of Risen, filled with mysterious earthquakes, fearsome monsters, and unimaginable treasures, forge your path with the sword, learn the art of staff fighting, or become a powerful mage.
  • Alter the destiny of the island by the actions you take.
  • Countless side quests and creatures to discover.
  • Over 60 hours of Immersive open world gameplay.

Ejection at high speeds is extremely dangerous. For most ejection seats, the chance of survival drops dramatically above 600kt or ca Mach 1.0. Even if the pilot survives he is likely seriously injured and may be grounded for good. So although the airframe and engines can push it to Mach 2.0 and beyond, the pilot simply won’t. Especially not in a shooting war.

Pilots will still fly supersonic, even in a shooting war, but more likely Mach 1.something, not 2+, and in faster aircraft that can pull that off longer at altitude, like F-22s and F-35s which don't carry their weapons on big, draggy pylons. But Mach 2.0 on most fighters is the kind of speed where, if they can attain it, they attain it very briefly and carrying no real ordnance. Like MiG-25s on recon missions over Israel were going exceptionally fast at Mach 2.0+, but it was a very short-range mission with no ordnance. And it was a mission profile that, once known and prepped for, the Israelis were able to counter with a shootdown using their own F-15s.

An F-15E pilot ejected at 780 mph (Mach 1.2), lived, was very hosed up, but flew again after he recovered. His WSO was killed near-instantly in the ejection.

Probably one of the fastest ejections to live was an SR-71 that came apart at Mach 3.18. The pilot lived, other crewmember broke his neck and died.
