Are they aware that the deployed O4 in the Russian AF makes $170k-240k a year?
Ukraine tried to bribe Russian military pilots to hijack combat aircraft of the Russian Air Force. In return, they promised millions of dollars and EU citizenship. Perhaps the SBU was interested in the “friend or foe” system, which is equipped on all Russian aircraft. However, it did not work out to get acquainted with it or with other technical features: the counterintelligence of the Russian Federation skillfully outplayed the enemy, revealing the chain of spies and their assistants, and also received important information for the SVO.

Federal Security Service stopped an attempt to recruit Russian pilots. Employees of the Ukrainian military intelligence offered the pilots to hijack the Su-24, Su-34 or Tu-22MZ and fly to one of the airfields controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

In addition, the Bulgarian investigative journalist Hristo Grozev (recognized as a foreign agent in Russia), a public figure who is strongly associated with British intelligence, participated in the operation.
... The special services of Ukraine acted here exclusively in the role of executors, and not organizers of this operation. The SBU has not been independent for a long time: they themselves do not conduct intelligence and counterintelligence activities. In fact, they have become a low-grade branch of Western intelligence services. Therefore, all operations of Ukrainians are exclusively in the prerogative of the execution of MI6, the CIA or other similar structures that exist in the West ...
