The Flying Dutchman initiative will consists two modules: The Weekly Sponsorship and The Ranking Sponsorship. Details for these modules are explained below.
The Weekly Sponsorship
Each week, there will be 20 000 currency prize pool dedicated from the government funding, which will be distributed based on the number of aerial kills from the previous week. There will be few rules and limitations:
1. You need to be a citizen of eNetherlands with level higher (or equal) than 20.
2. You need to have rank lower than Wing Commander.
3. You need to make atleast 125 kills in the Aerial module during the previous week.
4. All kills above the limit of 1 000 kills during previous week will not count for the calculation of the subsidy.
5. You need to ask for this sponsorship each week until next Tuesday morning under the weekly MoD article.
The prizes will be distributed based on your share of the total amount of kills made during the week. The mathematical formula is:
YOUR REWARD = PRIZE POOL * (YOUR KILLS / KILLS OF ALL ELIGIBLE PILOTS, WHO ASK FOR THE SUBSIDY)
All details regarding the calculation and the distribution of Weekly Sponsorship will be noted in MoD Google Document and published in the MoD articles as well.
The Ranking Sponsorship
Rule:
1. You need to be a citizen of eNetherlands with rank higher (or equal) than Flight Lieutenant.
The size of the Ranking Sponsorship is following:
Flight Lieutenant and every * gets 750 cc
Squadron Leader and every * gets 1 500 cc
Chief Master Sergeant and every * gets 3 000 cc
Wing Commander and every * gets 7 500 cc
Group Captain and every * gets 15 000 ccThis sponsorship will be fully funded by governmental funding, and it will be distributed each Tuesday to players, who rank up during previous week. Their names will be written in the weekly MoD article. The government will be tracking the progress of all players with the appropriate rank, who will be active in the aircraft module.

and what is the reason for this increase in kills required? since it isn't mentioned anywhere.
Because Plato Foundation has ended for us, therefore the rules need to be sharpened up a bit to get the best out of our 'own' money. Besides, I'm sure everyone can make that amount of kills regardless of that, because it's not a lot.
Typical reasons for such minimums are
- avoiding hassle for small change
- encourage people to step up their game, by gradually increasing the minimum.
I don't know the reason in this case, but the equivalent of 5 DOs in air battles during a week seems reasonable enough. And if people underperform this minimum saves the MoD team some work in compiling the list of eligible people, and in dividing the funds, while for the people involved it would also only be a relatively small bonus.
djirtsdew explained both reasons perfectly, so I would only repeat myself in explanation.
We have improved a lot during past two months thanks to Plato Foundation, so let's make sure that progress is visible!
