"IRP-P" is not a Cyrill but the alphabet. And a part of description of a label is English. :shock:
Is this a commercial item for export?

I've found the Russian rations (IRPs) to be very good. Certainly worth putting on your list to try. :)

And they tend to be cheap (sometimes), depending on which variants they are and where you buy them from :)

And I'd like to try some as soon as I can. I have 2 French RCIR on the way to me as well as 2 US MREs and a lithuanian individual ration. Contacted "delicious" on this about Polish rations also. Next up is probably Russian if I can get some though I'd be interested in trying any that I could sample really as I havnt yet tried many. Mostly British as I could get those in an army surplus place when I was in Wales
