September 27, 2008 at 20:29Soldering Testing IRP-P
Crosspost from the blog.
I have long wanted to try army rations.
In case of emergency (local, or global).
And not only try, but also have a margin if they fit.
And of course, I was very interested!
Test under the cut.
I found out from a former employee who had served in the ranks of the Republic of Armenia for 10 years, and fought in Chechnya, that the best that came to them was rations IRP-P and IRP-B .
Makes them, as it turned out, the company ZAO OBORONPRODKOMPLEKT .
At first, as usual, I began to scour the shops with army ammunition ("Fusion" and the like).
“Not at all!” Said the countess.
It turned out that for the sale of rations, the company needs a license to sell food products, and it turns out to be long and unpleasant, judging by the reviews of employees.
Further - I began to torment all the acquaintances and friends who had at least some relation to the army.
But in response - decisive no!
The online store offers them at 410 rubles apiece, and you need to order at least 4 pieces.
I found out that you can still buy these rations in Moscow at retail.
But it was far from a trip to Moscow, so I began to collect feedback and information.
So, I still bought rations!
8 pieces in Moscow, and one more at some small railway station.
Nevertheless , it was not possible to get the IRP-B rations, they were only in the warehouse in Korolyov.
IRP-P rations can be bought in the following places:
1. Actually , OBORONPRODKOMPLEKT . Parties of 4 and 8. The price is 300 rubles for IRP-P (in the future I will mean exactly its price).
2. The military-industrial company . The amount is arbitrary, 280 rubles.
3. The officer . The amount is arbitrary, 215 rubles, the packaging is different.
4. Camouflage and equipment on Ilyich Square . The amount is arbitrary, 350 rubles.
So, 12 kilograms of rations went home by mail, and I went to sea. ...
It took about a month before I returned home and was able to test rations with Garrett.
Naturally, we decided to test in the forest. Bonfire, backpacks, etc.
To begin with, we ate a can of stewed ordinary, GOST 84th year.
Yes, it’s the same stew with which you can easily have lunch by adding it to the porridge. Then we drank tea and started testing.
So, rations are supplied in green packaging, which, according to the manufacturer, assures the contents from biological, chemical and radiation contamination. The rations weigh about 1.6 kg, the handle is comfortable and pleasant to wear. They looked especially nice when they were hiding in the dark with nine people.
You can open and admire ... and close, with a sigh of regret, for the next experiment will not be so soon.
Further, nothing more than opening the box, the video from which, it seems, we also accidentally ate.
And we saw the following picture: On the left - a flask for a show-off, on the right a knife for a show-off. Composition
Instructions for use The kit includes a device for heating, which is 4 tablets of dry fuel, an iron piece of iron, bending which, you can assemble this device. Heater Assembly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7cBUuDu8qw Next you will see the heartbreaking ballad about Garrett and dry fuel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jl3A4GvC16E Yes, matches are needed. Attention! This dry fuel burns stench. With matches, things went much better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOYKuebZ_mg We open the jar with an opener included in the diet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhkalrtjkMg We open the jar with a knife that is not included in the diet.

Surprisingly, the fact is that the knife steers.
The bonfire is diluted, the tablet is burning,
In my stomach the appetite growls!
Well, let's start the tasting, gentlemen!
Army bread rolls
To my great regret, we forgot to take photographs, but we shot a video.
Bread rolls are salted biscuits with a modified thickness (thinner and more convenient to bite).
They go well with everything that is included in the kit, and went well with homemade food. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlXxaQIFxEQ Package rating: 4, it did not break in solder, but when it was put in a backpack, it crumbled. Taste rating: 5, good salted biscuits, chew easily. Stew
How would you explain what kind of meat it is?
No, it's not like in banks. And not like in the dining room. And not like in a restaurant. And not even at home.
It tastes better than all of this combined. During heating, the fat melted and formed a fragrant broth, which I dipped in biscuits, and then (I repent) drank from the can over the edge.
Packaging rating: 5, convenient to warm, easy to open and mix.
Taste rating: 5+, editorial choice.
Buckwheat porridge with beef
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsCY4nAOEzE Package rating: 3, it is inconvenient to warm, porridge falls out with stirring! Assessment of taste: 4, slightly brackish. Jam
Sweet (well, very) apple jam. I don’t know, this is probably self-hypnosis, and maybe it’s actually very tasty, and I have not tried this for a long time. Not jelly-like, liquid. Sucked out of the package. Great with bread rolls.
I really want to drink after such a mixture. Packaging rating: 4, if at a time, it’s convenient, it’s a pity that you can’t close it again. Taste rating: 5, no complaints. Rice porridge with beef Is identical to buckwheat, and the jar is similar, and the consistency. Packaging rating: 3, uncomfortable to warm, porridge falls out with stirring! Assessment of taste: 4, slightly brackish. Liver pate
The paste is very tender, like butter. And tasty, not fresh, but with a little admixture of pepper. Tasty, in general. Packaging rating: 5, convenient to warm, you can mix (I don’t know why) Taste rating: 5, good without biscuits, and with them. Tea Tea for the special contingent - this is not for you! Well, yes, this is not Greenfield and not even Princess Nuri ... A sweet black drink with a slight hint of tea. Packaging rating: 5, I do not know. what can you think of ? Taste rating: 3, not very similar to tea, although I washed down the food with pleasure. Concentrate for a drink I looked at the yellow powder with doubt, but when Garrett parted it with water and drank it, he did not want to give it to me.
I had to use flattery, intimidation, blackmail and dirty extortion.
It is somewhat similar to the Golden Ball, but much tastier and a bit thick (apparently gelatin contributed). Packaging rating: 3, the bag tears badly, almost woke up. Taste rating: 5, editorial choice. Average soldering scores and conclusions Packaging : 4.25 Taste : 4.5 I would like to add:
Thanks to Garrett for invaluable help in conducting photo and video filming, as well as testing and tasting.
All photos can be viewed here .
Bon Appetit. Stay with us.

- not so odorous fuel
- to improve the design of cans with cereals so that it is easier to stir.
