Non-incentives

Russian soldiers are now being promised a bounty for destroying Ukrainian weapons and materiel. Taking out a tank earns you a bonus of around $1,000. It sounds like a joke, but it's true. Disabling a hostile and deadly combat vehicle worth millions of dollars, and getting out of the situation alive, will earn you less than one thousandth of what your feat was "worth" to your employer.

Seriously?

Worst. Incentive. Ever.
