Russian rations, but does anyone speak russian?

I found this website that sells Russian military rations direct:

The only problem is that I don't speak any russian at all, and so understanding the small print is difficult, making me a little reluctant to buy anything yet...
Anyone used them before, or able to translate for us?

A few of us here speak/read Russian but you'll probably get faster results if you run the page through
http://translate.google.com.
Here's a direct link to the translated page:

So at 450 rubles each, min order of 4, and the current exchange rate of about 29 rubles for $1, that's $60 + S&H ... for the Americans on here. Here's a link to Yahoo's currency converter:

A little update,
I'm in contact with a Russian retailer that has some of these in stock. They are going to quote me a pice on a small consignment of Russian rations.
I'll let you know how it works out!

Good luck, Big_jo. I've yet to see one of those Russian dealers actually put forth an offer that was anything but sky-high. Here's hoping you can get something reasonable!

Well, I've been quoted a price of $80 for shipping
Add this to the price of the IMP then it gets pricey rather quickly! Still, if they can do it for that price, then I think I will still go for it, since the exchange rate works in my favour, £1~$1.55
