    Didn’t we already know this? I remember this being a thing during trumps first term and him doing absolutely nothing because he would’ve had to admit Russia did a bad thing which he’s mysteriously incapable of doing for reasons beyond anyone’s comprehension…

    I don’t doubt the Russians would pay for kills, but $200,000 per soldier killed seems very high!

    I think the Russians could offer $20,000 and get a similar response considering the average monthly* salary in is $242 (US). - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Asian_countries_by_average_wage

    Apparently Iran was paying $1,000 in 2010.

    In 2010, Iran reportedly paid Taliban fighters $1,000 for each U.S. soldier they kill in Afghanistan (equivalent to $1,400 in 2023).

      If you consider the price of equipment, food, training, transport etc. it sounds like a bargain to me.

      I mean, the price of an American soldier.

        Yeah, fair point, and add to that the price of training and supplying a Russian troop to kill that American soldier, $200k would be a good deal. But still the local salary is so low I think they could pay less.
