British ration sent to Ukraine

[Trotsky1940]

I got this off Twitter. This is what the Brits are sending to Ukraine. Interesting! Hot Dogs? In a can? Chocolate looks good though.

Very interesting!

Looks like they used the 12h patrol pack bags, but the majority of the stuff is civilian food items.

Muesli & water purification tablets look exactly as you would find them in an ORP. The fruit flavoured powder is designed for rations, although I don't think I've ever seen that particular flavour in an ORP. Maybe patrol packs previously?

Spam, Hot dogs, chocolate bar, fruit mix & hot chocolate is definitely civilian.

Oddly enough, the manufacturer is still liquidating ORP components as we speak, wondering why they don't use more of it.


I have been contacted by the ministry of defence at the start of the conflict as a part of the effort to supply Ukraine with needed rations. I'm not a manufacturer myself so I had to decline, although via donating as much as I could & selling rations at cost price directly to units / local government officials we have managed to send over 1500 24h rations.

Chocolate isnt civvy - Comes in the cold climate rations. Although the blue one hasnt come in since 2018, its been red since. Wonder why it swapped back to blue

That chocolate bar is the exact same as used in the British Cold Climate rations. In my opinion it's pretty gross but that's the only place I've seen it before. The spam and hotdogs are definitely supermarket, the hotdogs are cheapest of the cheap.

The word used on the front of the bag is interesting. Palianytsia is a type of bread.

I wonder if that has some sort of symbolic meaning of comfort or assistance?
