Something with www...komplekt...ru
Komplekt was also the name for the rations of the former east German Army "NVA", from the Russian word "komplekt".
Just klick on the headline of each ration I posted above, they are linked straight to the Russian side

Thanks...I went to the website.
It looks like they are slowly refining their rations,although that "kasha" looks like dog food....
Their rations are mostly canned meats and crackers and sweets...aoohh and also saw some "borscht"....
Is like everything they have to evolve for the better of their troops.
Would like to get my hands on one of them....
Peace!

Hi Stef....
You're probably the first one that said something favorable about the russian/soviet food....

Peace!

That website is awesome. They seem to have a civilian camping type ration as well. Google translated it as follows:
Individual feeding kit (Tourist) - IKPT
In the blank area where no nearby grocery stores, hunting or fishing, in a campaign or any extraordinary events, you'll need a set of products that will support your power. Set individual nutrition «Tourist» is a small, compact, high-calorie and delicious range of products, which is long and is stored in the individual 3 full meals. He has high energy value, balance of proteins, fats, carbohydrates and vitamin composition.
Translated web pages are good for hours of laughter. The page showing the BMP running over the ration was great. Wow, have been improving their rations. SLOWLY. Come on, it took them too long to switch from their WW2 style rations. But I guess we're spoiled with our MRE's and M.O.R.E rations.

Despite the appearance, and/or questionable meat content, I'd like to give one a go, and have a couple for the collection. I just wish the shipping wasn't so damn high
