Hello Viper. I would like to tell you a little about this MRE. The idea when creating it was simple - to create an MRE from dishes that a soldier usually eats at home. Therefore, it was decided not to clog it with a huge number of pastes and other canned goods, but simply put large portions of simple homemade dishes. For example, why are there 2 dishes for lunch, because traditionally in Ukraine it is customary to eat 2 dishes for lunch - soup and, for example, potatoes with meat. In this way, they tried to create a feeling of home comfort for the soldier. There are also enhanced versions of these MRE, they include chocolate, dried fruits, chewing gums and an additional portion of 200 g of stew for dinner. Before the war, these rations were about $ 6-7, I sometimes bought them for fishing, now I don’t know my conscience does not allow me to buy them. With best wishes, your subscriber from Ukraine!
I could tell these were made as a moral booster for the soldiers to remember home. Thanks for the info, all very appreciated. You're right, the price on these is the sky, easy $60+ US, but usually more. The fortified version, with the extras, is hard to find. TfW
@@vipergtsmre Maybe the whole thing is in the shipment, I don’t know. Because the cost in Ukraine is now about $ 9, I specifically looked.
That lunch was hearty. Full of great stuff. Couldn’t eat that dinner module after eating all of that in the same day haha. Great review as always man!!!
I've had kasha a bunch of times so didn't feel too bad about not finishing dinner. Yeah, lunch was way too huge. "Delicious" commented that this is the only ration lunch made that has a 500 and a 350 main😲
That’s a massive ration-lunch was extremely large. I wonder if the rye toast was to go in the soup? Great looking meal overall, I certainly would be happy to have this camping or out in the field. Great review Viper
Yeah, once I added it to the mains, the toast was good. It's very similar to the su'1s, very tough to eat without a soak TY!
Yes, they go into borshch :)
Lunch was a pretty hearty meal. Both looked delicious. Never had a cherry flavored jam in a ration before. That pork for supper is a really good portion. Overall a great looking ration. Take care Matt
Hi Mr. P. breakfast was hands down the best of the 3 and I was surprised that the kasha wasn't the breakfast. Lunch was way too huge. I think that was the first time I have cherry jam as well. I think the raided #7 was plum jam.
Interesting to see the ukranian ration. Simple..... but good for if you are in a situation were you have to eat and run. Nice review sir. Have a good one. 😊👋🏻👍🏻🇨🇦
Ty, I wish I had the reinforced version, it has a bit more going on. All the calories in this were from protein and fat, not sugar like an mre.😉
Great review, you have a talent to make a very compact video, not boring and still with a lot of content. These rations don't contain a lot of fancy items, but the mains are quite tasty and huge. No other ration in the world has 500g soup and 350g main for one meal
Lol, thanks. I do like my vids to be on the more concise side. I don't have the attention span to watch most long videos so like to get to the point. I didn't know that... 850g is a ton for one meal.
HEY VIPER!! That ration is very simple but i bet very comforting and soothing to the palate, and your stomach aint gonna complain lol!! I really liked the video and review!!
They make a reinforced version that has some small snack items, but this one IS pretty simple. The sweet soup was the only item that wasn't for me, but I kept going back for more.
I really enjoyed this video! I’ve always been interested in rations overseas. Good stuff
Thanks for taking a look, I have many countries rations on YT, many more to come
how nice it is to watch when food is cooked correctly , eats correctly, and shoots videos correctly .
Thanks for watching!
That was some big portions! Good review Viper👍
Yes it was! Tfw!
Great review Viper. Finally found your channel. Looking forward to more reviews. Nice job. As for customs, yeah, I've had my problems as well.
Thanks! Life's been busy but I plan to get some new stuff out fairly soon, any requests?
Thank you for sharing an excellent review Viper GTS. I’d be damn full too after that huge lunch. The crackers don’t last and I’m surprised there wasn’t a chocolate bar. Blessings 🙏🏼👍🏼
Thanks Dave. Yeah really nothing sweet in here except the honey and jam. Wayyy too much food for someone not needing that kind of calorie intake.
Great review viper looking forward to the others
Hopefully I have time to get to the white star this weekend. Thanks for watching.
Jam is for spreading on biscuits and having it with tea/coffee, dry rye bread eaten by dipping it in soup
Great idea for a video. Excellent review bud!
TY, I couldn't bring myself to make a 30min+ comparison vid. Part 2 coming soon.
Big thanks for review from Ukraine!
Can you make another one for reinforced please?
P.S. make sure it not expired🙂
I would love too, the reinforced version is a bit harder to find here, and when you can find it, it's expensive.
Great video and good looking meal. That soup looked delicious
Maybe you know better than I... is it typically a very sweet soup?
@@vipergtsmre I'm not sure
Ah the elephants in the room…I’ve got both Ukrainian and Russian rations to review. Thankfully it’s easier to be objective when you’re just comparing food. Great review!!!
Nice, do you have the same one or the "reinforced" version?
@@vipergtsmre I’ll have to check and translate the 3 rations I gave. One is canned the other 2 are retort pouches and of the lot one was molested by the CBSA ( Canadian Border Services Agency ) i.e. Canada Customs.
Awesome review Matt. I am glad they have more variety now. The last one I had was all kawa dish and all the same sides.
Kasha 3 ways, or literally all the same?
@@vipergtsmre 2 beef and 1 chicken.
Very interesting --with everything that is going on
I missed this earlier Matt. Sorry. I had one of the old style Ukraine rations, still in the cans. It was good, but packages, did not include what was described. Welcome to the MRE world, LOL. Kasha is still high on the list I see. I always hated, Rye bread, and hot tea, until I started trying rations. I now love both! Lunch is HUGE. Sugar beets, make the soup , sweeter than most. Heavy lunch, means, light dinner. Great 24 Hr. ration sir. Glad you enjoyed. I look forward to part 2. Peace from Ky. John. Stay safe Brother.
Thanks JM, I like tea but was not much for rye bread either. Like you, I didnt get a taste for it until rations. The bread in this wasn't really good until you crumble it in the main to soften it up a bit. I wouldn't mind trying the canned version some day.
@@vipergtsmre , Sir, mine was A nice meal. it seems, newer versions, do not compare to old ones. This follows with, German, and others? I went through the archives, I know there, but can not find. Did not know how much I have saved over the years. Earlier rations, did not include clear title, my Bad Matt. Should I discover, I shall send the link. Dang , almost 200 reviews I have done, I am freaking old Brother. You had an excellent ration sir. In about 1 Hr., i am off to the flea market, to look for some rations, now back again. I need one, for A trade, well, whatever else, is for me. Prices here in, Ky. now, $10.00 per mre, unlike the old, 6-7? Case is, $100, basically, buy 10, get 2 free? I need no cases, I rummage through leftovers, to find, one I have not had in A while. Cases are, 2019-2021. Ever want me to look for anything, let me know? Of all things, LOL, looking for tuna today, to trade for Canadian, IMP, Poutine. Any other time, leftover tuna, if I look, like I did for beef stew, non existant. Time will tell. Let me know, what you are open for, I shall look Brother. Peace, John.
@@MultiMagnum62 the place near me is worse than that. 13 for a single mre 150 for a case of 21s. They have a massive pile of the tuna, so email me if you need me to grab you one. It closed a year ago, but there was another surplus close by that was fantastic. The mre were all older but only $8 and I'd find the occasional FPS-GP there (for $5👍) and accumulated a bunch of them at one point. Oddly, I also bought a 10 case of 2016 boxed Brit ORP there too. Most of those were traded off long ago, I think I only still have one.
@@vipergtsmre , I did find, menu needed for trade. I am good, as of now. Those , prices, suck my friend. I thought mine were bad? The gentleman, who works, at flea market, saw me looking and, opened an extra case, to help me out. if you are ever looking for something, I shall look Brother? If I can find, I will send. My options depend on meals available, unless I ask A favor. I know this is public, LOL, out of one of 3 trades in deal, I trade, lemon pepper tuna , U.S, MRE, For Canadian, IMP, Poutine, which I have never tried. 2 more deals in the works. Fair trade, LOL. Another, may involve, trading, Polish ration here, for an obnoxious Spanish main? I did ask, me, not the other gentleman, I am A sucker for punishment!!! I am always, glad to take A hit for the home team, our community! May be, squid in its own ink? Other, decides between agreement, collaboration review? all, intermingle, and decide, how trades go? Need me, yell Sir. Peace, John.
Looks like the powers that be in the Ukraine military have gone towards familiar foods for their soldiers. They're not the only country to do so, and I bet it helps with morale. Looks a bit heavy on the Lunch by American standards, but that may be a cultural thing. Some cultures eat a big lunch and a lighter dinner, whereas we're the opposite here in the US. A big breakfast is a great way to get the carbs and proteins to start the day.
Crackers seem to be stale world wide, especially when the rations well into its shelf life.
Looks like a pretty hearty ration to me. I've never eaten any Ukrainian dishes (or much Eastern European food period for that matter, except for Kielbasa and cabbage), so I'm sure they have a different spice palette than I'm used to.
Thanks for sharing the Ukrainian 24 MRE with your viewers.
Thanks for watching. Yes, lunch was huge compared to our normal. This was a fun one to check out. I still need to get to all the Russian rations that I have.
@@vipergtsmre I've subscribed to watch for them. It's a fascinating subject IMO to see how other countries feed the troops.
good and informative review
Hi Crombat, are you seeing any of these in the field over there? Or mostly other countries rations or civilian products?
Dude, I'm sitting here at 4 pm starving, watching you eat.
Oh man, sorry to hear that. Want me to overnight you a ration? I have more than i will ever get to.😬
Cool ration. I was thinking of buying one of these on eBay, but was worried it might be a fake. It stinks that customs stole most of the contents of one of your rations. The food in the complete ration looked good though 😊👍🏼 Great review 😊✊🏼
Thanks for watching. I don't think I have seen any fake or civilian Ukranian, but its probably out there. I don't know how customs treats you in Greece, but here, it's common to get stuff confiscated.
I heard Ukrainian SOFs and units in offensive use these kind of rations and on ordinary defense/century ops units usually use field kitchen over the full-day ration in the war that is going on. Since producing ration costs time and budget more then establishing field kitchen. Great review.
I have heard similar. Rations like this and MRE are only meant to be used when a permanent or mobile field kitchen isn't available. I have a stack of US UGR trays, they are pretty much just an mre with like 10 to 18 portions.
@@vipergtsmre Yeah. The reason we've seen many captured russian MREs is cuz of they have no sufficient field kitchen with sufficient fresh'food supply and they are on offensive, and lack of infrastructure to be utilized in front(russians had to bring water with them even.)
@@vipergtsmre there's no way of feeding 200000 men working in the front with just fresh MREs so they had to brought out old early 2000s-late 1990s MREs in stock.(there were rumors russian troops ate 1999's white star ration on last spring's early offensive towards kyiv.) Another reason is, as we can easily guess, corruption(better sell the MREs to foreigners then the army for fresh $!)
@@vipergtsmre I've only seen UGR review on some channels since its too much to be reviewed by a single man? and their preparation makes me reminds of cooking on baking factory XD
@@dmdj8588 exactly. The ones i have are like 8 lbs of shredded pork, 10 lbs of rice, entire sheet cake etc. Way too much food for just me.
This is very cool
Thanks for watching, C&C.
Looked like a real comfort food ration.
Shame the crackers didn't hold up
I guess the way they are packaged is why they have such a short shelf life.
Apart from the jam and honey there were no sweet or dessert items, I guess the Ukrainians don't have much of a sweet tooth.
Great review :)
Yeah, all fat/protein and carb calories for sure. I never thought of it that way, but you have a good point. Maybe sugary items aren't a normal part of their meals.
@@vipergtsmre yeap, mostly not a big fans of sweets, the most important part thats meat
Meal without meat - wasted meal :)
They are eating well, with the USA paying for it.
We are grateful for U.S. aid, but only a small portion of the money directly reaches Ukraine. Most of the money allocated actually stays in the U.S., strengthening its economy or buying weapons and ammunition from allies. In addition, this ration was created before the U.S. began helping Ukraine financially
great video and nice to see considering what they are dealing with there right now. I wish they put rye or dark actual breads in the rations here
I'm drawing a blank, but I think maybe I had a Polish with a legit slice of rye bread in it, maybe a German🤔 Canada and Aussie are the white bread winners.
In begining video his ahowed planty variats MRE, another have what ever you like.😅
Ooh yeah, I'm not a fan of sweet soups. Rather savoury. Thanks for the video, buddy. Great seeing ya.
It had the sweet and sour that it is supposed to have, and in sort of a good way, but not ideal for me either.
Hi viper. No smokey tonight
I posted this vid prior to knowing that, I hope all is well.
The chicken and the last one looks tasty!!
The breakfast chicken was the best of the 3. Really great flavor. I would switch the dinner kasha and the breakfast main, if I eat this again.
I had D day flashbacks just by the intro
Thanks for watching. I need to work on my intro a bit 😉
Looks good.
Thanks for watching!
I have a bunch of different rations coming in for an event... praying customs are nice to me.
Are they in yet? Was customs nice? What did u order and from where?
Last year at this time i ordered 5 of the russian 24 hr kits, 30 days later it arrived, the FDA at port of entry opened every box and confiscated all mains and sides.
Stated it was tainted with disease.
Ouch, that stings a bit. I have only had a couple things opened by Customs, but its a potential risk with every shipment😬
The borscht is sweet because it contains a lot of beetroot.
Definitely. It was sweet in an addicting way.
Bummer that Customs ruined that Menu #7 for you.
It was, but that's an accepted risk when buying from overseas. Surpringly, that's the only time they have done so for me. Thanks for watching!
do you have newest ration from both side, I'm curious what they eat nowadays
The newer ones are roughly the same, but the only ones I currently have are same generation or older. TFW
@@vipergtsmre thanks
I haven't been on mre info in awhile
I'm on there occasionally, but not as much as I used to be as well.
Mres last around ten years if stored right.
I've had good luck with much older than 10yrs. Reviewed a 1982 last week. TfW!
I think they got breakfast and dinner mixed up haha
I thought the same exact thing. Kasha is normally the breakfast item. Thanks for watching.
I’m not sure if you were using a translator but it seems like you understand
Hi Spencer. Some of the main words are familiar, from eating other rations in the past, but I am definitely using a translator. Thanks for watching!
I never have I ever had Ukrainian MRE before to give it a shot
Hi Bobby, it was a huge but simple meal. The breakfast entree was by far the best. Thanks for watching.
At least the Ukrainians are being fed, the Orcs aren't they have to scavenge and don't even get fresh potable water sometimes.
I leave the political stuff out of all this, but from what I have heard, you are exactly right
@ERRATAS 0202 I get your point😬 I should have mentioned that from the videos I have seen of the Russian soldiers getting long expired rations and the Ukranians getting just made French rations, it appears the Ukranians have it a little better when it comes to food. But who knows if those vids are fully legit or just one offs.
Before you started translating in google I thought you know Ukrainian. Because r*ssians (who natively speak the third closest languge to Ukrainian, next to Belarussian and Polish) always have difficulties understanding what is what in Ukrainian MREs.
I know a handful of food words that show up consistently in rations but I definitely cheat before I start filming and need to translate most of it. TFW
