Russian rations page is up!
The Russian rations page is now up. Thanks again to Thomas from Germany for providing all the pics from what looks to be a fairly current ration. Also be sure to check out the english translation of the ration menu that was included in the box. If anyone wants to correct/improve my translation of the menu, please email me.
Man, I saw some of these Russian rations on Ebay for $90 each… my dog’s food looks better than that stuff… poor Russian soldiers!

Yeah, I saw those Russian rations for sale on ebay a while back. I couldn’t believe he started the auction out so high. And I don’t think they sold - surprise, surprise.
As for how it tastes, I have a report on that from the guy who sent me the ration pics - I’ll get it posted this weekend. The short version of the story is…you’re right - not very good.
