Russian company offers cash rewards to soldiers who destroy Western tanks

Fores, a Russian company that makes proppants for oil wells, has promised a cash reward to any soldier who destroys or captures any of the Abrams and Leopard tanks that Western countries have promised to Ukraine in recent weeks.

The company said it will give five million rubles (about $72,000) for the first tank and 500,000 rubles (about $7,200) for each subsequent one. It also vowed to pay 15 million rubles (about $216,000) for downed F-15 or F-16 fighter jets, which Western allies have not yet agreed to provide to Ukraine.
