Thank you for the link. We already had that company in that posting Dirtbag mentioned before. But these rations aren´t at their homepage.Fusilier wrote:Maybe this will help:

This is not a competition which are the better rationsradagast13 wrote:Hi,
maybe i can clarify this a little - SRG stands for Dry Ration, Hot', after hyphen we have menu number. Those are relatively new rations, I think 2012-2013, meant for consumption through 24h (SRG-3 has 3711 kcal), with Esbit stove (hence 'Hot' moniker). All civilian testers claim that they are superior to MREs in flavor and quality - During the biding process, military asked for 'no preservatives' in entrees - spam, bigos, beans with tomato sauce etc. Those cans are a little messy, too - no eating on the go. Those entrees have indeed relatively unappetizing names and looks, half of them looks/is like a simple spam, but if they are no worse that what I find in my local shop under those names, they may be better than MREs in our climate, given the local tastes, and way better than Ukrainian ones, that's for sure) SRG can be relatively easy bought on local eBay clone - allegro.pl - for 12$ each ( http://allegro.pl/srg-5-indywidualna-po ... 88019.html).
BTW, current I´m eating 2003 MREs, 11 years old - how would a 11 years old SRG would taste? Thank you for the link! Too bad I don´t understand what that guy is saying.YT link to the video review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSaYRuaan10
Thank you for that link. As mentioned before, this is not a competition.Polish Army has also SRS (Ration for Special Forces, 500g, 1100 kcal, 3 per day, MRE heater included, main course in the semi-flexible aluminium cans, claimed to be better than MRE ones, review in Polish: http://www.equipped.pl/srs-sucha-racja-specjalna/)
Thank you for all this information!and SR which are similar to SRS (also flexible cans with MRE heater, 500g, 3 a day, I honestly don't have idea what's the difference between those two, but there must be some). There is also new local version of UGR-E, one pack with flameless heater for 20 soldiers, although I doubt that you can buy it for civilian use. Type 'S' you mentioned is simply an older type, SR is probably meant to replace it.
Here is the menu for SRG-4, I can translate it if someone is interested
, and I think that MREs look much better and are more fun overall. What I attempted was merely passing the opinion of two reviewers, who claimed that those entrees taste quite good - one even said that he preferred them over MREs. Is it true? I have no idea. That's why I said 'claimed to be'. Although now that I checked, it seems that the second one got his rations directly from manufacturer, so his motives may be questioned... Let's call it a day and forget about it. As far as longevity goes - you are right, those can only last 2-3 years (that's my educated guess, maybe you can find the numbers). Also, I found a nicer review, by the same guy: . There are quite a few of those reviews made recently, which also hints at 2-3 year date - if they were introduced in 2011, then the 1st batch is sold off to hobbyist like now. It may be of some importance to you, apparently eating them one year after the 'best before' date is perfectly fine, even canned goods are OK - someone on YT already tasted/tested this And full menus are listed on this air-soft forum: http://forum.asg.koszalin.pl/viewtopic. ... 26&p=44629
