Talked with a guy at the show today. He brought the ration in the pic to show me. Tried to trade it out of him, but he wouldn't budge. So now I am looking for one. I really want to see Steve review it.

If you have one, PM me. I want one.

This on the picture can be many things but it sure isn't an BiH Armed Forces ration.

This is a Russian ration made for aviation. It says on the label that this ration is for helicopter and airplane pilots. The ration is made in Moscow. The vodka is not part of the ration, Russia as far as I know does not include liquor with any type of ration.

Yes, that's right.

Боевой паёк для экипажей самолётов и вертолётов = Combat ration for the crews of airplanes and helicopters

So the vendor was selling an aviation ration as Bosnian ration? How much was he asking for?

Wow! Thanks for the info guys. Much appreciated. Very happy I didn't do the deal with him now. Lol.

Is that seriously a pillow packet of Stoli vodka?

Yep, believe or not but in Russia you can find vodka in some weird containers. Stores sell it even in shots. And I don't mean those small travel / hotel bottles, but in the actual sealed shot glass. I guess if you don't want the whole bottle, you can just get a few shots lol

I have been (not recently) in liquor stores here and seen single serving glasses of wine in glasses and shots as well. I am curious too how much he was asking.

He wasn't selling it. He came to the show yesterday and saw all my rations and said he was a collector. He brought that ration today to show it to me but wouldn't trade it.
