60k per year works out to about 164 per day, no matter when you die.
That's okay buddy, Wilshire understood the question and already answered it
The average life expectancy of Russian front-line troops who die is 4.5 months ($444/day).
The average life expectancy of Russian men born around 2000 is 60 years ($4.57/day*).

$2.74/day
Jesus Christ, I didn't expect it to be that bad. That's Africa shit, and these are the guys that did some of the colonising, rather than being subjected to it.
Edit: Because it's not. it works out to more like $15/day, if we trust official numbers. That must be a minimum you're using or something.
It varies massively by region, though, because some of those colonies are still inside.
Get the money up front.
They'll be getting maimed "up front". No need for money then.
That's a lot of money in a country like Russia
If they ever get a dime of it.
I wonder who would down vote this comment like I want to know if anyone really believes that any of these soldiers will receive even a penny? please feel free to embarrass yourselves trying to prove me wrong.
Maybe they just print the money. Isn't that what dictatorships often end up doing?
I invite them to do that. I'm sure the oligarchs will love having their local savings massively devalued, and won't support a coup of any kind. /s
As much as I would love that, probably they don't have their fortune in cash savings but most probably put it into diversified investments of some sorts.
I'm guessing both, so they get returns and still have an "oh shit" fund. I doubt it would be good for the oligarchs, at the very least.
Venezuela can do hyperinflation because they have a more ideologically driven elite who will ride out the turbulence. No such luck for Putin; he's a neofeudal lord and has to keep palms greased like it.
That's above median individual income in the US
Our troops get paid less too
We also don't send them to die en masse in human wave attacks.
True, and when they do get deployed, there's, like, a McDicks and a Pappa John's that deploys with them. And all the equipment is up to date and works (which is something even by Western standards).
The ol’ bait-and-switch
Moscow calls this Operation Burgermeat.
