Russian here, great review! The apple jam from the irp is actually called "povydlo", and it isn't considered jam in Russia! I used to get this dessert a lot in school, and I vividly remember hating it lol, but everybody I know loves it, so it's just me. But yeah, its a school lunch food, and apparently army food.

I have a lot of rations for long term food preps that are climate controlled at 70 degrees. I periodically have a ration that is years beyond the Best Buy Date and have not had any trouble with the components. Most are US rations. Great review. Damn shame about the coffee. Thank you for sharing. Blessings 👍🏼

US rations tend to hold up way better than these Russian ones. If kept at a constant reasonable temperature MREs will last for decades as I'm sure you well know. Thanks for watching!

I have one of these I plan on eating soon I also have had it for about a year great review rr have a merry Christmas and happy new year god bless you and your family

You as well my friend. May you and yours have a very merry Christmas and happy holidays. Hopefully the crackers in yours held up better than these.

This as a whole looks like a budget civilian version or 3rd party copy. You can dissolve the milk powder (or any powdered drink) in a small amount of hot water, then fill it up with cold. You can also mix the milk and coffee powders from the start for a white coffee.

Awesome review RR! I just purchased two of these menus not 24 hour but a single meal and I will be reviewing those probably in the new year. Merry Christmas my friend stay well

I'll be on the lookout for a review of the single meal version. Merry Christmas buddy!

In case someone's wondering, that's an IRP of Russian Ministey of Internal affairs, e.g. police basically, hence it has some differences with military IRPs (around 500 less calories less, different cans, ect). And yes, the military rations are better in terms of quality.

You have me about to look for one of my Russian rations to do a video on in the next few days just to see if mine held up awesome video 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Only bad thing about the Russian rations is the shelf life. The mains and stuff will be fine but the crackers go bad really fast.

But please use that fuel in a well ventilated area and extinguish it when finished as it really is not good for you. Keep up the good work. Cheers Stu NZ

Hello my friend. Kasha is a buckwheat groat that swells when you cook it. It looks like you have a barley meat ration. I dont believe barley can be called kasha. Keep up the good work.

I haven't tried this variation but they all seem mostly similar, which is not a bad thing IMO, unless you have to eat them everyday. Thanks for showing RR

I actually am a milk drinker who averages 2 quarts a day, but I too have little use for powdered milks (or eggs). Powdered milk in my opinon is best reserved for those instant mashed potato recopies that say add a half cup of milk. Regarding the kind of crackers found in survival rations I have watched birds and even fish refuse them when they pass the 25+ year mark and that tells me much. If the gold fish won't touch them, why should I? If my memory is correct on her channel when doing a Russian ration Emily found a tin of caviar, that's as cool as a French ration I once had that came with a mini wine bottle inside. Your description of the unknown drink is like when I see a US green MREpack of 'beverage powder' type unknown. LoL I would have heated the beans.

I know this is a year late but I use a full fat milk powder by nestle (I think ) its called Nido. Its the only powdered milk my hubs will drink. I use it in my baking and had just picked up 2 of the big big tins (on sale of course) that make like 8 gallons of milk per tin two weeks before lock down. We really did end up using it off and on. Use warm/hot but not boiling water to mix then store in fridge to get it super cold. My hubs said its very nice rich flavor. Sure its not fresh milk but for emergencies its wonderful. Even my 1 year old grandson loves it.
