Might be the Ukrainian 24hr at the bottom middle of this picture.

This one is 9 years old, though. Has the vacuum sealed pack of salo.

I've seen single meal Ukrainian rations produced in 2022. Maybe it's one of those, but then again, I think that one has text on the outer pack. The one in that horrific picture looks unprinted.

They almost look like the UN Individual Food Ration which would make sense, could have been sent as aid. The white line down the middle of the bag is throwing me off though

The recent UN rations have been made by Vestey Foods in the UK, so would be tan bags

Yeah think im guna go with ramen noodle, because well why wouldn't you :)

Yes UN rations are currently produced by Vestey Foods LTD, UK and look much like the British ORP's but much bigger. We have them in stock. Also picked up this interesting Ukrainian ration the other day, appears to be signed by the whole squad/team. Heard that the producers of the Ukrainian ration are currently working on a menu line up that contains over 120 diffrent main meals! If true that should keep Steve1989 busy and us happy :D

That squad signed Ukrainian ration is probably one of the cooler things out there. 120 different mains? Absolutely fascinating. I wonder if there's a list of menus available to see what they'll be.

Agree, I saw it and had to have it. Will be going in the collection.

It was mentioned on youtube, Vid by Mercado Media. They had operator starsky and others on comparing a russian ration with a Ukrainian, it was pretty one sided as you can imagine :) . operator starsky brigade did the trials for the 2016 ration update and he mentioned he had spoken to the ration producers about any new ration updates.
