Video: Eating a 5,000-Calorie Russian Special Forces MRE
OutdoorHub Reporters 07.08.16
Where can you find pork brains, porridge, jerky, and cherry tea together? In none other than a Spetsnaz 24-Hour Mountain Ration.
YouTuber Steve1989 MREinfo is back with another interesting MRE review. This time he got his hands on a Spetsnaz 24-Hour Mountain Ration. The pack contains a huge variety of food choices, including the following:
- pork liver pâté
- pork brain pâté
- 60g sugar
- five chocolate bars
- water purification tablets
- vitamins
- nut and apricot bar
- coffee and tea
- apple jelly
- minced sausage
- beef porridge
- beef goulash with potatoes
- five packs of crackers
- cherry drink mix
- chocolate hazelnut spread
- three packs of muesli
If that seems like a ton of food, it’s because it is. In total, the entire package contains more than 5,000 calories that Russian Special Forces would certainly need during 24-hour operations. Also, while the contents of the MRE might seem a little odd, the reviewer found this to be one of the most enjoyable rations he has tried to date. Considering he also ate a Civil War ration, that might not be a ringing endorsement.
