1. Do it, do it

2. This must be incredibly tempting for any Russian pilot. It’s a lot more than they would get paid in their lifetime.

   Also you get a free pass out of that shithole of a country. I guess family is what makes this hard to accomplish.

   Not sure if that’s correct but I think the initial moon program from NASA preferred married men as astronauts because they were considered less likely to do something crazy…

3. The nato offer is the best part. The fact that they can even offer is great because it shows involvement by other players. Big players. Should be higher though.

4. Yea! Hope this comes to fruition so Ukraine can fuel it up, turn it around and send the Kinzahl right back around to Moscow.

5. That’s like 70 years pay for a Russian pilot.

6. I’m sure an earnest Russian MiG-31 pilot in possession of a Kinzhal or two could barter it up to two and a half. I can think of one newly admitted NATO member state in particular that would probably fork out a bit extra to gain a working knowledge for this alleged superweapon.

7. Perfect troll, focuses on economic dick length. Let’s hear the propagandists whine about escalation now.

8. 2 million dollars is like 40 years of hard work in my country. With that amount, I can already retire early, buy a house and enjoy my retirement early.

9. Side effect: the families of all Mig-31 pilots just got put in jail. That 2 million dollars though…

10. So now the FSB will have to follow and spend their resources on surveillance of both helicopter and aircraft pilots … I’m sure the morale of both FSB and ruzzian pilots is now under sea level and digging deeper 😅

11. Fame and fortune and a life in the free world? Yes please!

12. Ukraine might have to be careful offering these rewards. Other people might just try to sneak into Russia to steal one lol. This is like, 31 years of solid work for me and I work in tech and in the US.

13. We could have offerend $1M for every soldier to wipe out their unit, and surrender, and this thing could have ended real quick.

14. Don’t these go up in tandem with Su-35s as escorts? Could’ve sworn I saw that a while back. This could be a tough ask considering if someone decides to take the offer and boogie there’s the potential they’ll immediately be shot down.

15. You’d have a target on you for life, need to get family relocated first, BUT I think it’s a good enough reward to make it worth while.

    It’s also nice to stick it to the oligarchs, you stole all the money assholes! That’s why everyone is dirt poor and would consider this

16. Betcha they get more than One w/ missile.

17. The usa do the same thing during the korean war for the Mig15, operation moolah
