Ukrainian MRE Review UKRAINE Armed Forces RATION TASTE TEST 24 Hour UAF Military Meal Ready to Eat
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 май 2024
- Let's taste test the absolutely massive Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) 24 Hour Combat Ration. Like the US Military MRE, Meal Ready to Eat, the Ukraine ration uses retort pouches for food preservation; however, it's meant to provide a full day's food for a soldier as opposed to a single meal. This is one of the largest Rations I've ever encountered coming in at around 5lbs. I filmed this review well before Ukraine was such a hot topic in the news. Perhaps this information is more relevant now than ever.
Thanks for watching!

Ukrainian MRE Review UKRAINE Armed Forces RATION TASTE TEST 24 Hour | UAF Military Meal Ready to Eat
Those Ukrainians sure know how to feed their soldiers. Every Ukrainian MRE review I've seen has been outstanding.
Too bad they can't arm them as well.
@@uberlupe1 we are a peaceful agricultural country and not a military one.
@@uberlupe1 Can't arm enough to withstand a war with a second army in a world - yes we are. And hundreds of other countries can't do it alone.

Tesisting the orcs remarkably well for being so unarmed.
as a Ukrainian, I can tell you that, that porrige is exactly how it is supposed to be, no spices, not the highest quality of grain, just plain porridge with plain meat, I personally hate it, but it is a good replica, so to speak, of actual homemade food.
I am glad our soldiers are so well fed.
Its cool to have sweets and all that fancy stuff, but MRE is meat to feed soldiers, not children, thats still a quite pleasing MRE, I would eat that for sure.
Thanks for your review, very informative.
As an American who never had such a thing before, I had canned beef and buckwheat porridge, beef and barley porridge, and beef and jelly, as well as some kind of Pate, in a 2022 Ukraine ration, and I thought they were all unimaginably delicious. Like a 350g can of beef buckwheat kasha. Or barley kasha. This one has some nice alternatives too. The biscuits were bleachy stale after at least a year.
Can't find it anywhere. Even at European groceries -Russian, Ukrainian, Polish. Would stack cans of that stuff especially if there are other options to mix in.
Hello, I am from Ukraine and I can say that this is a MRE for the rear in the army, so it is quite limited. You can try "Reinforced mre" and it has a flameless heater, chewing gum, chocolate, other types of jam and other things. The reinforced MRE is for use on the front so there is everything you need for the whole day. Each MRE also has a menu number. In general, there are many such types of different menus and each has different foods such as borscht and different meat with different side dishes to choose from)
Very interesting! I'd love to check one out, unfortunately I haven't seen this type for sale here in the States.
Steve1989 just posted one of the reinforced Ukraine rations, and it is just as you described.
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
Thats really interesting to know :)
I had a 2022 ration with canned beef buckwheat, beef barley, beef jelly, all delicious, none available in five of the most popular European markets in Brooklyn. Where can you get this stuff for less than $28-44/can on Amazon or eBay? It should be distributed here. Cans or retorts. And cost $3-6 or so. But though there is tushonka and goulash in cans, and a pork and jelly product, I have not yet seen all of this.
However, there is a store called Tashkent which I did not go but that is the last real hope.
In some parts of Eastern Europe it's a local practice/tradition to brew strong black tea pyt a spoonful of jam in the mouth and drink the tea through it
It is called to drink in a "prikusku". This is when you put something sweet in your mouth and drink strong (very strong tart) tea without sugar. This is how I like to drink tea.
titles of packages: "Сніданок" - breakfast, "Обід" - lunch, "Вечеря" - supper.
Ukrainians definitely emphasize hearty meat and veggies even at breakfast. Seems most of the other rations are mostly carbs and sugar. Seems like this would be a better start. No frills but gets it done.
The only sugar they add comes from honey usually
I am also from Ukraine. 2 tips for yah:
1. Those crackers can be dipped in main course
2. There are different MREs, like in US Military, but not 21, more like 15
Slava Ukraine! 💙💛
Oh lad you're funny!!! At the start: Oh, it's disgusting!😝 3 minutes later: not bad🙂 5 minutes later: Delicious! Yammy! 😋
Yeah, I understand you. At first time you can be confused, but then it goes swimmingly, successfully and without any problems.
P.s. The soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine which this MRE eats daily.
Lol! I think the "perfumey" taste you kept referring to in the crackers was the evaporated moisture from the now dry moist towelettes!😃
Haha, could be.
Those larger retort pouches inflate like that when heated pretty frequently when you heat them very thoroughly. It's a result of the fluid inside letting off a little bit of steam as the liquid comes to a simmer/boil.
Very nice review. They sure give a lot of food. Thanks for sharing.
Hope the Ukrainian troops are staying well fed.
Glad this one is better than the one I had. Awesome review RR
They seem to be pretty hit or miss. The one Steve did seemed really good.
Nice reviews bro !! You really put a lot of hard work in these videos, such underrated channel man. Wish you good vibes
Thank you very much good sir. When someone enjoys the video it makes all the hard work worth it!
Great review. I like your stalecracker refrence!
Lol, I didn't know if anyone would catch it or not. Thanks for watching buddy!
That breakfast stew sounded rad. I think that something like that would be fantastic as a cold-weather trail breakfast.
It was the best thing in the ration for sure.
Awesome reviews.
Great review mate, really nice looking mains.
Cheers
Thanks buddy! Having almost a full kilo of food for a single meal was pretty crazy.
“Check out that oil slick on the side.” Lol! 👍👍
😅
that was a very good review, made me kinda hungry. this compares to the spetznaz mountain rations for calories. ive watched a ton of your videos and im seeing a distinct difference between european rations and us rations, ours seem to be mostly sugar and salt based while theirs lean towards savory and quantity. anyhow you do an awesome job showing these, keep at it, your viewers arent disappointed.
Excellent review!
Thanks brother!
Grits are corn. On my Navy ship, the mess cranks tried to tell us Southern boys that their tasteless cream-of-wheat was grits! They nearly got keel-hauled. 😠
This looked good, thanks for showing... Customs ate mine a while back.
Rip. That's unfortunate. I don't suppose it will be easy to order another anytime soon.
fwiw 7:47 diarrhea 😆
Didn't customs get better food? 🤣🤣 Maybe it was for their anti-drug Deutsche Schäferhund (German shepherd Dog)..🤔
@@martinkasper197 lol, I don't hate them for it. They are only doing their jobs. I got another shortly after, complete, but a different menu
Awesome review!
Thank you!!
Your perspective is addicting.
Thanks! That's quite the complement.
Why did you put crackers in the soup? You should put the bread instead
Good morning...Maybe I missed it, but how did receive tjhis ration? This ration would be great on a day hike/kayak trip. Keep the good work and have a good day. Thank you
I'm new here, nice videos btw! If yoi do this for years where are the old videos? Because you're very good and I'm binge watch your videos, you have another channels?
Menue fatigue is such a moral killer great review rr I would love to give that black current a try on some fresh sourdough take care brother see you next time
Thanks for watching my friend. I sure hope the other menus have a bit more variety otherwise those troops will definitely be suffering menu fatigue. That is one area the US does a good job in. 24 menus is hard to match.
500g main, 😮 that’s immense for lunch.
And another 350g to go with it. So much food!
Made it back stores had holes but I am well stocked looks like good shit
It wasn't bad! I think everyone would do well to be stocked up these days.
I like some of the Northern European rations, but most I find too greasy.
They also seem to have a very limited menu, alot of Kasha and porridge style meals, and fatty meat products.
I guess that it's a great way of putting in the calories, and the fat would be totally appreciated in the cold.
Either way they are huge and very filling.
Never tried any Ukrainian rations yet, but they seem very reminiscent of Russian or Polish rations.
Not having had any Ukrainian rations I find your review is very interesting.
Awesome review, love the comprehensive commentary :)
Thanks for checking it out! I can understand why all that greasy food would be off putting for some. Luckily I really enjoy it. It would probably be a different story if I had to Eat it all the time though.
Exactly. Northern European, Eastern European, and Slavic cuisines tend to have a lot of fat to help people tolerate the bitter cold of winter.
That's not coffee, it's coffee substitute. You break the bread into smaller pieces and throw bread into soup so it soaks up and then eat it. Honey is natural, usually you put it on crackers and eat them with tea. The meals were different - rice and vegetables soup and wheat poridge for dinner, and potato with vegetables for supper, but meat and seasoning are used the same, therefore they kind of taste similar. Rations are not fancy, but cheap and healthy, natural, little sugar.
Great review I don’t think I could eat all that I take 2 or 3 days to finish a US ration gastric sleeve surgery but it looked delicious 😋
It would probably be a week's worth of food for you then. Thanks for watching buddy. Hope you are doing well.
@@ReadinessRations I’m doing well I 🙏🏾 everything is well with you and your family I just watched the most recent review it was great 👍🏾 I love your content keep the good work coming the Halal menu I have one left I can’t remember the menu the one I recently reviewed I felt the same way about the pretzels and mixing the cookies with the pudding I had oatmeal cookies and I didn’t heat the pudding I will with the next one if it’s in there I also mixed the raisins and peanuts I added the pretzels 🥨 it help get rid of the stale taste of the pretzels
This is like a cookie for
What?
That breakfast portion looked weak as far as contents go. The rest looked decent, other than being very similar. As far as future reviews, how about a Thai or somewhere like Egypt, Nigeria, or South Africa?
All in all, another great review, buddy!
Is love to get my hands on any of those. I take what I can get lol. I'd like to try them all eventually. Thanks for watching buddy!
Nice review......................if your in the field and hungary-YOU WILL EAT IT AND LIKE IT! my dad was in WW2 and thats what he said about the rations back then.They eat pretty good in todays world!
Today's Rations are all the difference in the world. I'm sure the guys in Ukraine are very happy to receive one of these these days.
Try steaming the rye bread make like just baked
You’d be stuck if the enemy attacked after lunch after all that food.
Haha, yeah it made me ready for a nap.
Holy hasish coffee. Alensky would be proud.
Might need some Texas Pete.LOL
That certainly would have helped!
Do the allmres mother load next.:)
Tell them to send me one for review 🤣
There are 7 menus with various meals. It's weird that you have two same potatoes meal in a day.
I found it odd too. Maybe the other menus have a bit more variety?
@@ReadinessRationsthere are kind of mes, as you got somehow for supper, dinner from other menu.
Thank You For This. Soon I Will Be In Ukrainian Army Too 🇺🇦❤🇺🇸 Glory To Ukraine
First, it's "Ukraine" not "the Ukraine". Second, it's in ukrainian, not russian.
Lots of protein and fat is exactly what an MRE should contain. The ones loaded with accessories are just compensating their lack of food with garbage.
So u did breakfast lunch and dinner in order and the toast things are actually dried bread so thay suppoes to be like that
TWO meat mains for lunch? Is it supposed to be that way? Either way that is one hearty ration!
Yeah that's how it was designed. The Reinforced version of this ration has two mains for both the lunch and dinner portion.
Dont you forget, that winters are quite cold here, and soldiers are move and dig a lot... And that is why you need more fat and proteins, but less carbs.
That would certainly keep ya going awhile
I hope the boys in Ukraine are being issued plenty.
the bread remembers me of the german Zwieback, kind of a hardened bread in miniature form. I hated them though. They're bland and avoid of any taste. Maybe thats why they often used for kids to get them eat their medicine or as "stomach bread" to minimize stomach pain...
German Zwieback has many taste variations, even with White chocolate...🤓👍
This ration was huge.
Massive. It's hard to believe there is one even bigger.
I like reviews of dead rations
Anything main entree, I’d be sure to boil the bag.
Should never eat these dishes cold.
That rye bread is intended to be hard and dry.
These use to be terrible!!!! I know they improved them greatly. I may buy again...
I wasn't blown away but I'd buy another after having this one.
That has no comparison to grits, lol.
What doesn't?
Like melba toast
Literally your last meal
Cannot be critical of anything stale when the expiration date is a year ago
I can critique what I please sir. Whether or not it matters is up to the viewer.
"it's very much like a chicken soup" well, one would expect it to be like a chicken soup since it's labeled as chicken soup...
Hi readiness
Hello there brother. Hope you are doing well.
Thanks buddy, I'm doing Okay. How are you doing my friend.
You only have three SMLEs....there are never nough
Anything 2022
These are still in service.
Sorry I was not aware that MREs had to be out of service before civilians could obtain them. Sorry for my ignorance on the subject
Uk
A ration perfect to give you the energy to kick Russian asses back to Moscow.
"This tasted a little bit like a bite of cardboard box, but not in a bad way"? Wtf?
Slava Ukraine!
Geroyam slava!
I’ve eaten lots of Russian MREs and love them . Polish MREs rock , and Latvia and Lithuanian MREs are the bomb! I haven’t built up the courage to try Ukrainian food. You said it best it looks like slop . Oh and trying to get a German mre lol
Considering what the Ukrainians are going through, this would have been welcome out in the field. A polite request to MRE reviewers, stop snagging food from Ukraine. If you want to be good folks, buy any newer MREs you can find and send them to the Ukrainians. Their soldiers will thank you for the food.
Ukrainian soldiers are never far from home they know they can get back to barracks after a good days fighting.
Huge ration. Not my type of food per say! I don't care for Russian rations except crackers, cheese, apple butter and vegetable caviar, and drinks. Lol picky I guess ? At least they are getting full bellies in that milatary. Praying for peace ✌ 🙏
I hate that these rations are having to be used in conflict currently. Hope you are doing well!
Looks like beef kasha
I believe you are correct.
Looks like Dog food...🤣🤣🤣
LoL 3,000K calories would mean 3,000,000 calories. K means thousand. That calorie count is probably not correct. They are probably counting the sugar too. Named meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) is mostly of Western Europe origin as opposed to some Southern and Eastern regions where the rule is eat what you can, where you can, when you can, if you can even find some food. Our concept of dining is so spoiled. Experienced users of this ration will probably be doing mix and matching of the package contents. The lack of vitamins is a concern (C, D, etc.). So is the large not needed bulk of the package. Beef jerky,, honey packs, and tea, maybe some chocolate bars would give more protein with less bulk. Figure each soldier should have 3 days of rations with his sleeping bag and other kit items in their pack. These large ration bags could force a decision of just bring 1 days ration, or leave the sleeping bag and the change of socks and underwear behind. LoL
1 kilocalorie (kcal) is equal to 1 calorie. They are actually the same thing. We just don't call them kcals in the US because we are not on the metric system.
@@ReadinessRations This may be truth. However if I say I earn 100K dollars, or if a house costs 300K dollars, the K means thousand.
guy eats expired meal with dried out wet napkin and asks where's that floral scent is coming from. lol
why are you eating expired food? it's not meds where you have 2-3 years of safe grace period for expired pills, it's barely processed food and you're in one step from food poisoning if you're eating that. very unprofessional and that food would taste differently if fresh.
What dislike about some of the Slavic MREs is their use excessive pork fat, connective tissue and lack of desserts. Honey is boring and so is condensed milk. Nothing in the way of nuts and chocolate. Mostly grains and not much vegetables imo.
That's a fair criticism. I love the flavors of the fat and grains but missing out on vegetables is unfortunate. It's filling but maybe not the most nutritious. I'm always on board for real desserts 😅
Forces of ukrain never seen this ration on the field..
That greasy breakfast looks like it would send me straight to the bathroom. Yikes.
The word subsidence is not being used correctly in your videos, this is the definition; The process of becoming less active or severe. I believe you are trying to say either substance or more likely sustenance; Something that provides support or nourishment. Not trying to gripe or anything, just wanted to share some knowledge. Keep up the ration reviews!
Just my redneck voice
Everything is written in Ukrainian
Don't eat exprider food, you're not a russian conscript in Ukraine after all.
Ukrainians are starving
for me, as a Ukrainian, especially after Russia attacked my country, it is very, very insulting to hear "here it is written in Russian" at that time as it written in Ukrainian. it's like calling an Irishman or a Scotsman an Englishman
As an American, I'm naturally stupid and ignorant to these things. All I know is I used a Russian translator for the video.
Who cares it's a good mre review so get over it
@@ReadinessRations bruh
This dude is definitely a larp THE WHOLE VIDEO WAS FINE IDK WHY YOURE PRETENDING TO BE UKRAINIAN AND GET OFFENDED TO EVERYTHING THAT UKRAINIAN MOSTLY DONT GET OFFENDED TO LIKE WTF DUDE
Bro you should just be happy they sending u the means to live . You guys would all be apart of the Russian federation if the Yankees didn't step in
They could end up losing the war with such ration.
Looks like they are holding their own so far.
why, it looks very healthy
This human naturaly dishes! usa not understand becouse eating chemical dishes!
Ukraine,yes. But suitable for fascists everywhere.
Слава Україні 🇺🇦
Resistance is Freedom
Героям Слава !
Slava Urine*
Dude. You have not served in the Military of any Country. You have never been so hungry that if a fly lands on your food and is not bright enough to fly away. You remind me of the fly.
You are right Ukraine won't exist much longer
Your voice is a tad bit annoying sir, compare it to the relaxed, soothing, cunning voice of Steve
