Naaah, this is crystal clear.
What might be shocking to some, is the scale.
Regions are competing with each other in the scale of the benefits, and even arrange/pay volunteers to arrive and enlist locally.
The money they offer combined with all the other allowances makes it a really good deal - a lifetime opportunity if you are some redneck from nowhere. You can set up a whole life with that money, good enough to buy a house. Add to that a real solid life insurance, benefits transferred to the family in case of death, open positions in every desired university for your children, a piece of land from the federal - free of charge ...
The sole system of pricing destroyed equipment is crazy - as far as I remember they offer a 15mln rubles for F-16 kill. It is fukin' 130k euro
And that is not only the federal grants, but there are multiple cases of prominent figures, enterprises, or oligarchs who establish their own funds for the task.

That is a difference of having the real economy rather than meta supa dupa funded one.
It is not an achievement to have a 30 trillion size of economy if you are buying hot dogs for $7.
While obligatory 20% tip for the waitress, because otherwise, she could not afford rent.
There is a common joke here, with the mountainers as a core. They are considered as the Scottish here with "baca" - a sheep herd owner - being an acronym itself
Baca is selling a dog.
Tourist asks : how much?
A million dollars!
Baca, you are drunk or something? Nobody will pay you a million for a dog!
We will see!
A week passed, same tourist, met the same baca, and he has no dog anymore!
Have you sold it for a million?
No! I have switched it for two cats, half a million each!
That is the face of the western economy, in all its glory.

A 2,000,000 ruble signing bonus is 50,000 US$ in PPP. Nice down payment for something.

That is federal.
Regional municipalities add to that up to 5.2 mln.
As I said, you can buy a house for the enlistment benefits only.
And the regular allowances are only to follow ...
It is crazy

I have just reminded myself, that fulfilling a military contract is a base for citizenship, fast lane.
I will ad the HL episode here as well.

State Secretary - Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Anna Tsivileva emphasized that 900 employees of the "Defenders of the Fatherland" foundation are themselves participants in the special military operation, as well as members of their families.
Around 60% of veterans of the special operation continue to work within the perimeter of the Russian Defense Ministry, including those who have partially lost their ability to work due to injuries received in battle. This was stated by State Secretary - Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, Chairperson of the "Defenders of the Fatherland" Foundation Anna Tsivileva.
“I would like to note that 60% of veterans, including those who became disabled after being wounded, continue to work within the perimeter of the Ministry of Defense,” she said.
The deputy minister added that those who make decisions on demobilization receive new specialties in the fields of IT, the agro-industrial complex, creative industries, psychology, law, and medicine. The deputy head of the department noted that 900 employees of the Fatherland Defenders Foundation are participants in the special operation and members of their families.

MOSCOW, 24 Jan - RIA Novosti. About 450 thousand people have signed a contract with the Ministry of Defense to serve in the military in 2024, and more than 40 thousand Russians have joined volunteer formations and gone to the special operation zone, said Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev.
"The task that was set before us by the country's president last year has been fulfilled. About 450 thousand people have signed a contract for military service. In addition, more than 40 thousand of our citizens have joined volunteer formations and gone to the special military operation zone," Medvedev said at a meeting of the interdepartmental commission of the Security Council of the Russian Federation on staffing the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation with military personnel serving under contract.

The Russian Ministry of Defense has made a proposal to adjust the fitness categories for conscripts registering for military service and entering military service under contract. If the project is approved, conscripts diagnosed with syphilis will fall into the category of "fit with minor restrictions." It is also proposed to change the conscription categories for some contract soldiers if a person has been diagnosed with schizophrenia, neurotic disorders, and post-traumatic and post-operative skull bone defects. The Ministry of Defense also proposes adding a new stage of hypertension to the regulations on military medical examination . Conscripts with the listed diseases may be required to undergo military service. Izvestia reports in more detail on what the Ministry of Defense is proposing.
