Could a Russian pilot pull this off? I assume there are two pilots in a jet. But maybe there is a "remote destruct" option that would spoil the plan?

I assume there are two pilots in a jet.
Some configurations do have a pilot and a WSO in the rear seat.
I imagine there are single seaters as well.

Taiwan offers a reward to mainland Chinese pilots who defect.
Even in the 1970's they were offering about USD $1MM in gold to the pilots.
