I looked at this Russian ration for the first time.

"IRP-P" is not a Cyrill but the alphabet. And a part of description of a label is English.
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
