Ukraine Announces Million Dollars Reward Per Russian Helicopter, Fighter Jet, Warship

Ukrainian farmers have been stealing tanks and other Russian military equipment with their tractors. Videos have surfaced online in recent weeks, and the question many have asked is what happens with all the captured war machines?

It just so happens that the Ukrainian parliament (also known as Rada) passed a new measure rewarding anyone, even Russian soldiers, to turn over equipment to Ukraine for a reward.

“For a helicopter – 500 thousand dollars, a tank – 100 thousand, respectively. If, for example, someone is ready to come to us by plane – it’s a million dollars,” the first vice-speaker of the Ukrainian parliament Oleksandr Kornienko said in a statement Saturday.

Here’s a complete breakdown of Ukraine’s reward system for the voluntary transfer of Russian military equipment to the Ukrainian Armed Forces (all prices are in USD):

◾Combat aircraft (fighter and assault aircraft) – 1,000,000;

◾Combat helicopter – 500,000;

◾Reactive volley fire system – 25,000 – 35,000;

◾Tank, ground artillery (self-propelled) – 100,000;

◾Infantry fighting vehicle (landing), armored personnel carrier, armored reconnaissance patrol vehicle – 50,000;

◾Military vehicle (truck, specialized), military tractor, military engineering vehicles: reconnaissance, demining, mine barriers, bridges, fencing, for paving roads, for earthworks, to overcome water obstacles – 10,000;

◾Ships of 1st or 2nd rank – 1,000,000;

◾Ships of 3rd or 4th rank – 500,000

◾Ships of military (auxiliary) support – 200,000;

◾Ships of small combat (reconnaissance) purpose – 50,000.

Kornienko said Russian troops would be motivated to hand over the weapons to “replenish their financial status” and their “misunderstanding of the meaning of why they are dying.” He added: “the reward tool will work.”

This is certainly an innovative way to buy weapons at a discount. Ukrainian farmers stand to make a killing.

Got some to collect on?

[BiteYourSelf]

Of course.🙄

Where else would he get the money? From Russia, since they are still paying Ukraine pipeline transit fees.

Money is fungible but it can be said that Russia is giving Ukraine the money it needs to put bounties on Russian military equipment.

Sure...

After you refund the fee you got from Putin for spreading his pro-Russian propaganda.

“Three-day war!” LOL!

“Ukraine’s Air Force has been destroyed!” LOL!

“Russia is now just “mopping up!” LOL!

I hope you’re smart enough to avoid being paid in Rubles...

Instead, why not ask Putin to give you a “time-share” in his billion-dollar “party boat”, which he ordered to flee to Kaliningrad?

Hush Neocon. We’ve had enough of your wars.

[Robert DeLong]

Then why is Zelenskyy asking for more money from the U.S.?

[no-s]

Haha! I’m not so rich but maybe I’ll go in with my pals and start a bounty fund!

I wonder if the Ukrainians are willing to commission letters of Marque? Surely they’re not signatories to any of those annoying international conventions?

[M Kehoe]

Brilliant!

Are you in for a slice of owning your own SU-35, or a T-92 tank?

Or a Russian destroyer with all the fixins?

You’re wrong again...

I’m a veteran who knows from war experience that military strength does not create wars. It prevents wars.

Ukraine’s current war is a result of Ukraine’s weak defense of itself in 2014 — when Russia, with the help of “useful idiots” (like yourself?), invaded Ukraine and stole Crimea.

After that war, Ukraine’s patriots began to prepare for the current invasion, with focused training and new equipment. Russia believed that its bullying tactics in 2021 would frighten Ukraine’s government into surrendering the rest of Ukraine to them. When that did NOT happen, Russia attacked, thereby starting the current war.

Russia did not expect that a small patriotic army could defeat their superior “numbers” in men, tanks and aircraft. So Russia was foolish. Russia has paid a high price as its invasion force has been more than decimated.

I believe that America has no “legal” obligation to help Ukraine by supplying American soldiers. However, if Russia becomes so desperate to “win” that it uses chemical, biological or nuclear weapons against Ukrainians, then I think we Americans have a “moral” obligation to use our superior CONVENTIONAL weapons to destroy Russia’s ability to wage war against anyone — even little Moldava, which Belarus reports is “next” on Putin’s “list” of targets for war after Ukraine.

> Are you in for a slice of owning your own SU-35

I figure maybe syndicate and run it on the air show circuit…or lease it out to some nation’s OPFOR training…

I’d go in for small arms and motorized equipment too. Great resale value or maybe some sovereign interest will pay for de-mat and we could score some bounty arbitrage…

Good honest legal business only please…

[JonPreston]

I don’t care if you charged up San Juan Hill with a bow and arrow, if you are a Biden war supporter and an interventionist, you are a Neocon. Be a man and own the 🏷 tag.

I like the way you think.
