In the 90s Pepsi had a contest with prizes and as a joke they advertised that they were gonna give a winner a real jet fighter

That's a different story. This one is about that time Russia/USSR paid pepsi with old military equipment to get around sanctions. I think they couldn't actually receive it because they're not allowed to have that but it's a funny story regardless. I think someone already posted the link

It was old equipment, so pretty much just scrap value.
