Sturm, pronounced “shturm”, is “storm” in German. The candy looks like it has a picture of a wolfberry/goji berry. The actual fruit is loaded with vitamin C. The FRH says to put use 100 mL of water to activate it. Gotta love the Russian sugar sachets. 20 grams is five teaspoons- that’s half a can of Coke’s worth of the demon crystal. The 5 g salt sachet is twice the recommended daily intake for a regular diet. Seeing as combat rations are usually anywhere from two to three times the caloric intake of a recommended diet, this is probably fine, as you’ll sweat that much salt out on patrol. Fresh pâté is always better than canned, but that pashtyet is pretty decent. The main looks really nice. No potatoes so you don’t get a massive carb load eating it with the galeti. Russian tea brewed with a samovar is brewed to a really dark liquor and then diluted with water. This is where that 20 g of sugar comes in handy. Tea is also flavoured with lemon and orange and sometimes dried herbs. This would be a ration I could eat at least once a week over an extended period.
@@lancerevell5979 We want ours to last longer, and in a wider range of temps. They are using civilian retort pouches that are more mylar than foil. A large part of that ration's "fill" are those crackers and they go stale well before the rest. (that is the case with most Euro rations) If you have shorter life rations then you have to reduce how much you store for "war stocks" and have manufacturing on tap to produce on short notice. The US keeps a much more active military so its hard to plan for training surges. Or when a REALLY large unit that hasn't deployed as much as expected has a HUGE stock of rations that are all end-date at the same time. (especially units that were deployed in Afghanistan - I guarantee you they didn't "waste" space bringing MREs home) So when they get home they do a full restock of "new" meals and all their MREs have the same end date. And that is even ignoring the many TYPES of MRE we have to stock. We stock at the UNIT level, not at a depot somewhere. Every unit has a storeroom of MREs. Had a unit that had to discard theirs because of a broken radiator (in Germany with steam heat.) Room was a sauna and nobody knew how long.... so off to the dump they went. What would be nice is doing something like the Canadians do -- high quality "training" rations. But if we did that.. who would EVER eat the war stock long life stuff. Its like UHT milk.. nobody picks it FIRST, but its good when you need it to be.
Have gotten many of my foreign mres from MRE Mountain. Have to say very good luck with all, shipping is a killer, but sometimes they have a little deal for a free ration with some orders.. Nice little ration and good review.
I bought some stuff from the store in the Netherlands, very happy with the guy I dealt with, he sent me a gift a few weeks later because he didn't have one item when he sent it through the first time, he basically gave me another package worth as much as the original package, it was a great pleasure to deal with them 🙏
I find it funny that so many Americans will not eat liverworts or liver pate but swear by Braunschweiger and the bottom line is they are all the same thing! I was told in culinary school that it is a wording thing ...OK I guess, all the more for me
This is a really good ration I have a Russian IRP sturm on the way menu number 4 Mexican chicken will be my first Russian mre looking forward to it great upload as always Nathan 👍🇬🇧☕
Shturm\Штурм that's Assault in russian. I'm from Estonia where is almost everybody speak 3 languages - estonian, english(mostly US version) and russian
I had bad luck with MRE nation. I had a problem with an order and they made no effort to rectify the situation. I was buying a lot of MRE's. I don't recommend because of it. Miss seeing your sister participating.
Russian letters: штурм becomes SHTURM SHTURM = "Assault" (translated to English) These are "Assault' rations... (or, as it reads on the package "combat rations" is a better translation.
I am not a big lamb eater though once n a great while I will have a couple of chops. BUT this meal looks delicious, I can't understand why the Russian troops in Ukraine are complaining about the taste and quality of their MRE's. If they are anywhere close to this it makes no sense. Nathan I think you have met your match in quips now with Phil have a mic. Tea looks like dirty water.....That is funny I will have to use it on my wife who is English and takes her tea very serious. Thanks guys this was a very good video for a quickie
I love people getting a hateboner over someone eating a Russian commercial mre believing that a Russian soldier won't get to eat it. Duh. It's commercial, if he wants one he should buy one. And on the manufacturer's website the price for shturm rations is 380 rubles which is imo too high. I can get an actual military one for 400-500 rubles on avito, and that's 3 meals.
I’ve tried the pâté from other IRP’s I’ve had in the past, never cared for the taste. Since it looks like cat food I tried to give it to my cat, she smelled it and acted like she was trying to put the rug over top of it to bury it. Put it outside for the trash pandas, they wouldn’t even touch it. That pâté is nasty
I'm always happy to see you testing one of these in-date Russian rations, because it means Private Konskriptsky in Ukraine is going hungry while his superiors are buying yachts with the proceeds of stolen rations.
I got menu 6 off mre mountain That’s the nasty meat and the pate was nasty the apple jelly and crackers tea is all I could eat no more these I want try the good ones the beef This menu6 was cutlet buckwheat I couldn’t eat it
Lol, theres a russian soldier somewhere going wheres my dinner!? Sorry comrade, we needed the money for bullets, so we sold it to an American but you can see him enjoying it on youtube! it got good reviews
You’re braver then I am eating Russian military grub 🤔I just can’t help wondering if the Russian and Chinese MREs that make it to the open market arnt some sort of plant. You never know what’s in them for sure.

Barberry.. it called Barberry....the fruit on a candy
Our military can learn a thing or two ftom the Russians on making good rations.

@@brianallen858 Yes Brian, mine always seem to come from Netherlands also. Always great luck with them.
@@muldur3235 absolutely would recommend them to anyone going camping
Cool ration. Components seem solid. FRH works Nicely as well. Main looks excellent. Seems like you both had A pretty good meal. Peace, John.
Great video as always. Customs took everything on my last big order I had few those ordered all i got was empty boxes lol
I order a pork liver pate from Amazon, pretty good stuff. Tastes like Braunschweiger. Great on crackers and as a sandwich.

Glad you got a good ration. It looked good for a single meal.
Shturm\Штурм that's Assault in russian. I'm from Estonia where is almost everybody speak 3 languages - estonian, english(mostly US version) and russian
Looks like a solid single meal ration, I liked the look of this one.
Another cool review guys,thanks.
Look forward to seeing what else you have from them
Thanks boys for another great video!
I have yet to come across a main meal from Russia I haven’t come across that I haven’t liked. The mains are awesome

That's a nice lamb taste, it doesn't taste like lamb 🐑🐏 🤣🤣
Lamb is delicious but a lot of People try to pass off Mutton. Huge difference between the two.
Is this for one meal
Any website that does not facilitate reviews for the products they sell does not believe in the products they sell. Full stop.

Thanks David , phil is over here eating lamb curly hairs and things 😂
@@NathansMRE Hey he is a growing boy and has no idea where the curly hairs may have come from LOL
The Russian troops aren't getting these, because the guy in the quartermaster's office is too busy selling them online.
Yeah these are show ration's for the benefit of foreigners to be impressed the ration's the troops are getting are very basic and very bland.

At 4K, I saw that hair from a mile away!! I'd still eat it though.😄
I'd love to eat all of that!

Thank you men.I like mustard and sweet relish with pate. The Russian food is always so good.
Too many galettes (crackers), the MRE would've been a 10/10 if it had one pack of cookies and/or small chocolate bar.
Этот паек чистая ,комерция,....К силовым структурам России отношения не имеет!!!
Wow you got one but the Russian soldiers don't 😂 The lamb looks amazing 😍
If you can't tell the difference between beef and lamb stick with beef.
I'm always happy to see you testing one of these in-date Russian rations, because it means Private Konskriptsky in Ukraine is going hungry while his superiors are buying yachts with the proceeds of stolen rations.

Lol, theres a russian soldier somewhere going wheres my dinner!? Sorry comrade, we needed the money for bullets, so we sold it to an American but you can see him enjoying it on youtube! it got good reviews
More likely the soldier sold his squadmate's ration to buy vodka.
@@traumajock Given the embargo its as likely that someone captured truck loads in Ukraine and sold them on the black market.
Where is the nice woman that used to be in the videos? :)
Amanda started a new job, so not going to be in many videos.
@@Kw0nLong Oh i see. Let's wish her all the best then!
The Russian army in Ukraine would like their rations back as some are near starving.
a Bo Peep lunch...lol...bon appetite...
You’re braver then I am eating Russian military grub 🤔I just can’t help wondering if the Russian and Chinese MREs that make it to the open market arnt some sort of plant. You never know what’s in them for sure.
Lmao. Have you really not heard of lemongrass?
Of course i have heard of it, have i heard of it in a russian mre, no
