Youtube daily MRE Jan 29 2019

And we are back with new Combat MRE of Ukrainian military. On the front side you can see the content list.

You can also see there are seven menus, I have menu number 6 here.

DPNP-P-6

On the top of the bag you can see emblem of Ukrainian Armed Forces (this is frontline combat ration).

Content list is in the first row on the left.

And on the top row you have 7 DPNP-P listed with number so you can see contents of each below.

On the lower part of the bag you have production information.

And on this sticker you see what exact menu you got, in this case it's number 6.

Made 12.12.2017.

Best before 01.10.2018.

This is probably biggest and most heavy ration I got so far.

On the back the bag is clear with no prints.

Let's open it and see what's inside

This is what you can see inside of it

Inside of the bag there is also this content list

And (same on the bag) printed contents for each meal, BREAKFAST, LUNCH, DINNER

Meals are divided in this three bags.

Bag for breakfast, you can also see printed contents on the bag, but for this bag alone

Also have this sticker with production and best before date

Smallest and thinnest bag of three is breakfast bag

Let's open it

Meal that contains peas and beef. You can see the sticker that says when this meal was made, best before date and ingredients.

Four hard crackers

Wet napkin

Instant coffee

Chewing gum

Salt

Two packs of sugar

Spoon and napkin accessories bag

Chocolate, it looks as if she committed suicide... deformed, bloomed and it even erased it's label

Dried apricots

And first test of Ukrainian flameless heater, we have 4 heating bags and one reusable heating bag.

Instructions are very simple

After placing meal and heating bag you need to add 100-120ml of water

Heater is working really well, I don't know can you hear it right now, but Ukrops did awesome job with this.

Coffee and sugar

Even the spoon is modernized compared to old one

Wet napkin

Not really wet, but you can clean the spoon with it

Napkin it is, but wet it is not.

I will not be trying the chocolate since it looks like... it looks...

Dried apricots are really nice

And coffee isn't bad either

If you like lighter coffee you will enjoy this

Classic hardtack reminds me of our old Croatian MRE crackers "Rambo Keks"

The main meal, meat with peas

Opens like this

it smells good

but as for taste we need to try it

looks like soup with some vegetables and beef meat

not bad as I thought it will be, it's like some kind of slow overcooked goulash

everything is a bit overcooked and soft

so I'm calling it soup with potato, beef and without peas

looks like that weird British food you sometimes get in their ORP's

The bag that contains lunch

A bit more food then in previous one

tea

something like soup croutons

chewing gum

pepper

salt

two sugars

vitaminized cherry jam

spoon and napkin

wet napkin

soup with pork meat

pork meat kasha

meals are heated up

the way you open this...

pork meat kasha

doesn't look bad to be honest considering it's food from a bag, I have seen a lot worse

smell is OK, the food looks like a brick that you need to mix a bit

it's fatty and oily, probably because pork meat

but it's nicely seasoned

so barley kasha with pork looks like this

I think this is just pork not chicken and pork

it looks like pork, I didn't really checked the ingredient list that well

one of rare kasha meals that I find good from Eastern Europe

I don't consider Poland to be part of Eastern Europe, so their kasha is overall the best one I have tried so far

the soup has this gusseted bag

it looks like this

it looks like a real soup, not like a fake advertisement

lot's of meat, potato, carrots

looks like vegetable soup with pork meat

interesting smell, more like vegetables

so everything containing the barley and I think this is barley has this specific taste like it's something fermented

lightly sour and like it's fermented

you can never know... but it's nicely done

this is light years away from old Ukrainian ration with cans, in better direction of course... modernization at it's best

in old one you got survival food while this one is almost luxury food, imagine having this in the field in minus 20

and it's not just soup with meat flavor, you have real meat inside

big pieces of vegetables and meat, really complete meal

excellent for cold conditions while still part of MRE world (will it freeze I don't know, but when you heat this you will be very happy soldier)

I am pleasantly surprised

I think SmaCom company from Ukraine makes these

croutons are still very crunchy

they have honey aftertaste for some reason

so you can add it to soup, let's try it

crackers and jam

jam is a bit bitter, not surprising for sour cherry

not that sweet, but taste very natural and homemade

croutons with soup = excellent

let's add pepper and salt to kasha

this is really really good although it does not look like that... I have tried lot's of kasha meals from Russia and Ukraine

civilian and military production both

so I can say this is by far the best kasha I've eaten so far

After Polish kasha of course, but that one is a bit different meal, much better then classic EE kasha

but this is classic kasha and it's really the best I had

5/5 stars

soup is 4.5/5 I'm not that pleased with taste

but I am amazed by the size of it, ingredients in it and just idea to have this in combat ration amazes me

especially considering it's product aimed for the army that's often in cold conditions

products like this can boost moral to guys in the field so kudos for SmaCom

chewing gum is normal, but it has some medicine taste to it that I probably just imagined

so this is all for the lunch, I really liked it so far... let's continue to dinner part

Third and last bag is containing dinner

three sugars

honey

coffee

spoon and napkin

chewing gum...tea...

wet napkin

one more sugar

salt

bag with meat - simple as that

potato, vegetables and pork meat

one more croutons bag

that's it, let's heat the meals

smaller bag is pork meat in it's own juice, at least I think

doesn't look bad, it's just meat inside

just meat and meat...

not bad... also you have the croutons you can drop inside to soak in this soup

looking like nice quality meat pieces without any fat etc. much better then previous canned meat they had

looks like vegetarian's nightmare

kartoffel... strange they don't have their own word for potato

looks like potato pork stew

flameless heater is insane I can barely hold this how hot it is... also the food does not look great

but the taste is all right

surprisingly good considering the looks of this

real countryside meal for peasants, for field work and such

the oldschool style eat now and you will get nothing for next few days

so this is all, sorry for the long video, there's too much food here to keep it short

if you aren't already subscriber you can do it now :)

there will be similar videos in the future if you are interested in this kind of reviews

but if you are not interested, youtube is big enough for everyone

this is all, Слава Україні and kind regards until next video
