    viteral = vitamin mineral drink
    love your videos mate. there's more around of 4 or 5 other ration types.
    - Konseven-in-a-can = main course without rice
    - konserven-in-a-pouch = main course without rice
    - T2SP = all rice and meat pack together in a can + crackers etc
    - T2PJ = dired rice, just add hot water. This is the most tastiest.
    - FDC ration = Susu Komando/Commando Milk. I saw you already got some
    keep it up ! 😀

    Fishballs are extremely popular throughout all of Asia as a form of comfort food. I understand that they may come off as strange and processed (they usually are) to someone who didn't grow up with them, but to an Indonesian soldier, they would make for a good morale boost.

    Aside from the Viteral, I suggest you dissolve the other drinks with warm or hot water. Dissolving them with cold or tepid water will make them lumpy and take forever to stir.

      It's not the best idea to pull all of your eggs into one basket, so to speak. Under duress, you're supposed to eat what you can when you can. Having all of your calories in one dish of wet food that you can't just whip out little portions of throughout the day would cause many, if not most of the soldiers on front lines to just go hungry most of the time.

    I'm glad I found your channel. What's really spectacular about all of these soldier rations that you go through(and I think it would give you more content to cover) is the amount of thought involved by the teams of dieticians and food chemists. Not forgetting to mention the work of production that produce them. There is also some psychology involved. Great job so far. Good luck with your channel.

      Indonesian restaurants in the Netherlands just aren't that great. They're mostly catered to Europeans who generally can't handle spices, thus less spices and oil on the food in these restaurants. Some are catered to Indonesians though and that's where I usually go to.

Sometimes is has milk or coconut water too. I'll bet that's what the first drink was. It's usually drunk hot in Indonesia and is considered a "cool weather" drink, or as cool as it ever gets in the lowlands. It's all relative in Indonesia. We had one night where it got down to 65 and everyone was running around in jackets and shivering.

They are after all, the core of the army,they are the ones we deploy,send overseas or currently in the fight against terorists. Kodam guys in the other hand are teritorial army they act much like reserves. mostly married and old men. The army didnt prioritize anything on them. They rarely carry arms and when they do its a cold war relic. They mainly work humanitarian or serve as extra hands for the police. some story said they pack their own meals from home instead of being issued rations during disaster relief op. so Its not a surprise that if the majority of them never even see these rations.

      Gum is useful for giving the soldiers' teeth a little cleaning when they can't spare the time to brush. Helps even when you can brush

    Those drink names sound like spaceships or rockets.

    • @tacticalnuke3805
      @tacticalnuke3805 7 лет назад +64

      The names are actually acronyms for what type of drinks they are. For example, MINSUS 1, which stands for MINuman SUSu (Milk Drink) Type 1.

    There's no breakfast, lunch, and dinner in Indonesian dishes generally speaking. You dig in whatever the menu is. Exceptions include some street food like fried rice, terang bulan, and martabak which food vendors usually sell at night.
    For the 'minsus' drink, I think it's derived from 'minuman susu', literally means 'milk drink'
