How dumb would a Russian soldier have to be to think they'd actually get paid this bounty. I'm sure they'll eventually take out some tanks or and get some photos, but a higher up would pay will pay it to a friendly subordinate who'll kick back the majority.
so does that mean they leave the ukrainian tanks alone or they just get bonus points for western ones? >

It means Russian forces will report destroying 143 out of the 31 Abrams tanks within a month. >

Make a Russian tank look like a western tank, burn it, claim money, leave Russia. >

Private destroys tank, reports it to sergeant
Sergeant kills private, reports destroyed tank to Lieutenant. Lieutenant kills Sergeant, reports kill to General. General kills Lieutenant, getting the bounty. Proud Russian General on the front line destroying 100 by hand >
