Quote from Fores: "Fores will allocate a reward to military servicemen for damaging NATO heavy armoured vehicles and fixed-wing aircraft in the zone of a special military operation [this is how Russia avoids the word "war" and calls the war in Ukraine - ed.]."

Details: They have promised 5 million roubles [approximately US$71,500] for the first destroyed Abrams or Leopard tanks and 500,000 roubles [approximately US$7,100] for each additional one. 

It is also reported that a financial reward will be 15 million roubles [approximately US$214,500] for the first F-15 and F-16 fighter jets destroyed if they are supplied to Ukraine.

Ivan Okhlobystin, Russian actor who very actively supports Vladimir Putin and the war against Ukraine, has also declared there will be a reward for Western tanks damaged in Ukraine. He has said that "some representatives of big Russian business" authorised him to announce that they supposedly "will have a reward of 10 million roubles [approximately US$143,000] for each damaged Abrams".
