The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) said that it had thwarted an operation by Ukrainian military intelligence and its British handlers to hijack a Russian MiG-31 fighter jet armed with a Kinzhal hypersonic missile.
Ukrainians attempted to recruit Russian pilots, promising a $3 million reward, the Service stated.
