Anyone know what i bought? Just arrived, Ebay buy listed as FSB 24hr, but might be a fake. It was cheaper than expected and arrived fast. Not listed as mountain. No chocolate bars listed on ebay description. My translator is not being nice.
Not yet opened, any ID help appreciated

Looks like a original rusian mountain ration to me... they give it to the fsb and spetnaz, it has a plastic handle right?

You have a standard FSB, not the Mountain one. There should be 5 chocolate bars and your component list shows nothing that has 5 of the same item. Also, underneath the component list is shows 3 different menu types, but a true Mountain FSB would only have 2

It sounds like you already got an answer, but I wanted to let you know another clue that can help. In the lower right of the label is the calorie count, and for the three variants, the caloric range is 3,500-3,700. The mountain ration has around 5,000.

Knew mtn had over 5k, but didnt know that was the calorie count on the bottom right. Thanks for the extra info, much appreciated.

The last clue:
Mountain Ration has only 2 menus.
FSB has 3.
