MOSCOW, June 16 - RIA Novosti. Since the beginning of the special military operation in Ukraine, more than ten thousand Russian servicemen have received payments for the destruction or capture of enemy military equipment, the Defense Ministry said.
Last year, 7,064 Russian fighters received payments for destroying 11,586 units of Ukrainian and Western military equipment. And for the five months of this year - 3193 military personnel for 4415 units.
"Payments are made on the basis of orders from commanders of military units and are transferred to the personal financial accounts of military personnel. At the same time, there are no restrictions on receiving payments by military personnel from the number of enemy equipment they have already destroyed," the military department stressed.
So, this year the distinguished fighters were paid:
* 300 thousand rubles for each of the downed 45 Ukrainian helicopters and 71 aircraft;
* 300 thousand each - for the destruction of 15 launchers of the Tochka-U tactical complex and HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems;
* 100 thousand - for each of the many hundreds of armored vehicles;
* 50 thousand each - for 1501 combat armored vehicles, 203 self-propelled artillery installations and 85 MLRS installations;
* 50 thousand each - for the successful interception of 941 missiles fired by the Tochka-U, Alder (Olkha), Smerch, Uragan and HIMARS systems, as well as 1211 drones.
Military sailors, whose competent and prompt actions destroyed six naval drones that attacked Russian ships and civilian infrastructure in Crimea, received 200,000 rubles each, the Defense Ministry added.
Now in the Zaporozhye and South-Donetsk directions, payments are being made to fighters who destroyed German Leopard tanks and armored vehicles manufactured by the United States and other NATO countries.
