To be more precise Ukraine, Belarus and russia each have Borshch as a national soup, however each country uses a slightly different recipe, which introduces a slightl difference in taste and also color.
Never tried the Ukrainian ration, but has a ton of good meals in it. I'd see myself trying it not because it's awesome but because their military is notorious for it's rations. To add to it even though I never been to Ukraine, there culture is always fantastic. I give my support to our brothers and sisters in Ukraine. Especially during troubling times. My message to Ukraine is simple. Don't let Russia get to you guys, and as Mr Rogers always says be a good neighbor. Nothing more nothing less
Good review! But yeh borsch is really Ukrainian soup. A lot ethnographic scientist in 19 century and early write about that... Russian empire just occupated this like Crimea) Good luck, with love from Ukraine )
Ага, прям исконно украинский суп. Только почему-то готовится из свёклы, попавшей на Русь из Византии в X веке, картофеля, попавшего на Русь аж в петровскую эпоху из Голландии, белокочанной капусты, которая начала распространяться на Руси только в XIII-XIV веках в областях примерно около Москвы. Могу продолжать. Приписывать авторство борща современной Украине - это тоже самое, что говорить, что кофе придумали в Эфиопии, а матрёшку в Японии. Подобное хрючево делали на всей территории Руси, но в массовую культуру это блюдо вошло как русское. Матрёшка вошла в массовую культуру, как нечто русское. Точно также, как и кофе вошёл в нашу культуру через старбакс, американские фильмы и западную культуру. Так уж вышло, что русская культура имеет куда больше влияния на мировую, поэтому у многих людей в мире борщ ассоциируется с Россией.
This is the second Ukrainian MRE I’ve seen. The first had dried fruit, jam and chocolate but my overall impression is that the main dishes are hearty, packed with vegetables and meat and complex carbs. It might almost be too much food but for sure, no one in the Ukrainian army is weak from hunger or experiencing blood sugar spikes. It looks like home cooked food that your babushka might make. I have no idea how it tastes but from what I’ve seen of the Russian MRE’s, the Ukrainians are well taken care of.
If you want a soldier to have a high morale and fight well, then for this you need to feed him well and preferably with delicious home-made food. This was the idea - to create an IRP that is as similar as possible to the food that the soldier eats at home.
Borsch is a Ukrainian national dish! This dish is prepared in many countries, but it does not make this dish of someone else's national origin. This is not a Russian dish. It is especially unpleasant to hear this, given that Russia has invaded Ukraine today, and a century ago it occupied it and tried to destroy culture and language.
I get the impression that this ration is meant to be split into 2 days, which would make sense. If you're on the go, you might not have the time to heat all of it up, and your supply train might not keep up with you, so it makes sense to be able to stretch it out. Also, if you do get some downtime, being able to get a little catch up can be helpful.
Awesome they seem like a great deal and on Amazon! I agree this looks like a hearty meal well worth it. They were cans now they upgraded to wet packs. Like you mentioned they need to retort pack those cause they just don't last in normal packing. I really enjoyed this one Awesome Review Nathan!
I'm not very familiar with Eastern European dishes and specialties. Except for Kielbasa, Cabbage and Potatoes fixed Polish style, and some of the Slovenian cakes and breads, that's about the limit of my experience. Interesting meal, and like some other nations, Ukraine packs their rations with familiar and comforting foods for their troops. No US Military Mystery Entrees for those folks.
Did it say what the total caloric content of this ration was? I’m thinking of the order of 22,000 KJ, or just over 5,000 KCal, which is a little over 2 days’ recommended daily intake for an adult in Australia.
Sgwige, verb, the act of squeezing out a small amount of something into a larger amount of something, mainly used for MRE'S. lol just like the term, should be a real word in the dictionary
It's obvious in these comments who's ever had to actually live off these for a bit. You ratf*&k and mix and match and usually get 1/2 of what is actually there. You get really clever with mixing these, but the good stuff gets sniped real quick, and the leftovers are for the slow boys or newbs.
That would be Google Translate, it has a camera feature that live translates what you point the camera at. As you can see in the video it's not very reliable when translating on the fly, but in the same mode you can take a picture and that usually yields better results.
Why are you talking to the guy in the background? We can barely hear him mutter a reply. From our perspective he sounds like some unintelligible goober. Looks like a great ration, but your reviewing technique is very lacking.

The bread is actually a dried bread called “sukhary” which can be eaten alone but usually you would eat it with the more liquid meals like the borsch.
Are they sweet?
@@arx3516 a little bit
With tea is amazing)
Glory to Ukraine

Borscht - the place of origin is Ukraine. It's not russian...

I believe the bread was for the stews/ soups, and the tank tracks are to be dipped in the coffee/ tea then jam added .
It actually looks good. Like real food.
Hell yeah bro
The real best MRE in the world!
proved by latest news...
Bro, I don't recommend you to put honey into a hot tea, because it's losing all of the vitamins. And it taste better without anything)
Honey is commonly put in Tea in the US.
@@quincybriley4113 well, ok, but I just say how we use to do it in Ukraine
in Ukraine this mre can cost 4-8 $
Nobody makes borsch in russia.
In Ukraine, it costs 6$
There was a lot of food there, just no snacks or sides.
Doubt if their army would go hungry on that ration though.
Great vid 👌👍
If you are interested, the first porridge was made from barley groats.
Wasnt it plov or rice pilaf with chicken and rice
@@cybyrd9615 no it is not rice, but it looks and tastes like it.
looks like real food and not the plastic crap in most MREs

Never tried this one but it didnt seem to bad. Glad they have upgraded from cans now though.
Hi Nathan and Philip! Wow that's a huge MRE! I would really enjoy this one! Looks really delicious! 👍😎
lol im sitting here in complete awe watching your phone translate everything, then you complain about it not translating fast enough

The evening meal translates as RACOON n the phone... LOL
Never tried a raccoon 🤣🤣
The, seller (who there not affiliated w/) has this Item listed on Amazon as Returnable. How dose one return a used M.R.E.?
With time manipulating technology
Crap in the bag.
Слава Україні!
Red jam was cherry, ‘honey’ looked like lemon curd, couscous was probably buckwheat and barley
heated it is much testy, especially Ukrainian borsch
These will be rare in the future
Привіт з України)
Took a gamble and ordered one before watching the video. Hope it’s good.
I do know the US M.R.E. meals are very good.
Was it good?
Wow, that is a lot of food!!
Это тыловой вариант сухпайка
Looks much better than the older Ukrainian MREs….🧐
I just bought one I am so excited!!
Was it good?
Now let's get this out on the tray, Nice!
Now that I have read your comment just wondering when SteveMREInfo1989 is gonna upload something on his channel?
@@fleetSRT probably waiting for new/old mre that has not been covered by other mre youtubers
@@fanaekanova240 yeah. Probably 😋

You're supposed to dip those "crackers" In liquid. Soup or tea in this case.

Looks delicious
I think it's groats and not rice
This, M.R.E. is now priced @ $72. U.S.
Multiple Russian rations I've ordered lately have been looted by those thieving bastards in customs. I was grateful to get this one in today intact
Everything MUST be shipped USPS only or they will 100% hit any package with food
There only trying to protect you from mad cow disease 😆 LOL
Did it say what the total caloric content of this ration was? I’m thinking of the order of 22,000 KJ, or just over 5,000 KCal, which is a little over 2 days’ recommended daily intake for an adult in Australia.
It's around 3000-3500kcal, depending on the menu.
@@MrBarnichka Thanks for this.
Yeah, that's recommended for the regular person that most of the time means they don't exercise at all and stay on the couch all day
I believe the Australian ration pack is also about 5000 KCal too
i ordered one
This looks pretty good
Why mention that its barely warm? That just mean you don't know how to heat up food.
A little grouchy ?
Sgwige, verb, the act of squeezing out a small amount of something into a larger amount of something, mainly used for MRE'S. lol just like the term, should be a real word in the dictionary
The seller is not in the USA
Do any one know the supplier of the same??
0:50 - right corner literally say's "Property of Ukraine Armed Forces, not for sale" 🤣
1:40 racoon dinner, awesome :D
Don't crack a tooth on that bread or tank track use it for the stews.
The Amazon listing shows a chocolate bar in the pictures. Did you get one with yours Nathan?
Lots of soup to keep food hot in thermos
An adult MRE.

Um no borsht made in Ukraine
Then we have this main which is Kosher...translate" Pork with pork"?I see what you are doing.That translator is lying.
Looking at breakfast packet, while using translated app. I think this is coffee. Bottom right corner of packet says coffee.
What was the translation app you used?
That would be Google Translate, it has a camera feature that live translates what you point the camera at. As you can see in the video it's not very reliable when translating on the fly, but in the same mode you can take a picture and that usually yields better results.
The grain with the "pork with pork" was barley
Awesome ration, Nathan))
"inner resting"......take a shot
8 dollars his cost.
just in tym for supper..lol..
Time * honey boo
Why are you talking to the guy in the background? We can barely hear him mutter a reply. From our perspective he sounds like some unintelligible goober. Looks like a great ration, but your reviewing technique is very lacking.
What translation app was that?
Google translate app. There is 📸 sign u pat on it and just looking through the camera.
Mmmm, racoon for dinner!
Poor baby raccoon 🤣
What is the name of the translator your using
Google translator
doesn't understand the difference between crackers and -crackers- (sukhary - dried bread)
There is a lot of liquid in the rat packs isn’t there, more broths than solid slow burning protien. Just my observation.
Where's dessert???
hi Nathan, hi everyone "
