НОВЫЙ ИРП Литвы! Вы будете шокированы ценой и качеством!
Hello everyone, dear viewers of my channel. I'm with you again Solide, and making an inventory in the garage of my operator Sergey, I found this box, which was sent by my subscriber Arunos, straight from Latvia. But the only thing is, he sent it to me in 2022. Sorry, Arunas, it happens to me. But it's infused. Inside, surprisingly, is a Latvian ration and European memorabilia.
These are iron trinkets, heavy. What are these? Hairpins. And a beautiful flag like this. But that's not the main thing. While the rations were being prepared...
Latvian defense industry didn't stand still. Released a new model. How different.
Today we will compare what they have added, how well it is made and analyze it in general. But before we move on to the meal, I want to thank first of all each and every one of you, my dear subscribers and viewers. Thank you so much for putting your thumbs up, for entering videos into the strands, for writing comments, for supporting our channel and bypassing all these YouTube slowdowns. You have no idea how much you help the channel and how much we need your support. Guys, thank you very much, so I decided to raffle off two more of these modern rations, unadulterated, among you, dear viewers. It's the same as always.
You put a thumbs up, write any positive comment. I'll pick two winners on the next video. Go for it. Of course, these rations aren't as calorie-dense as this one. I picked the fattiest.
It's pork. All right, here we go. First of all, I shit myself. These aren't Latvian rations, they're Lithuanian. I keep getting them mixed up.
Why didn't you tell me? Secondly, as you can see, there's a completely different approach to packaging. Here is an old, but very reliable, compact polyethylene bag. What's the point? When you can do it like this. Here, it's the same thing. Why spend the extra money to invent a huge bag like the UK has? They have a daily ration, you have a one-time ration, why are you doing this? And it's not even the size, it's the quality that's gone down.
Well, it's all kind of unattractive, you know, a civilian package. Here you can see that it's military, you can't tear it, it doesn't rustle, you can munch at night. But here it's not, you can't even see through it. Guys, it's the same thing every time. March 8th is coming up, and as usual, I haven't decided on a gift yet. Well, not socks to give in response to all the care and support that we give our mothers, wives, girlfriends and sisters.
I want to give something unusual, useful and beautiful. And I found such a gift. A set of tea juice from B-Fruit B.
This is not just tea. It is soaked in fresh ginger or pineapple juice. Look at this thing. Inside a box like this, there are 4 jars of different flavors. And what's most amazing is that here the taste is the same as the flavor. It's bright and intense.
And I'm not the only one who thinks so. It's already been recognized at international trade shows. In 2023, as the most innovative drink at Dubai's Gulf Food. In 2024, it made the list of the best at the Paris Cial. And in 2025 received a gold medal for innovation at the Moscow Prodexpo. And all these regalia are obtained at the expense of unique technologies.
It's not for nothing that it was named Sokochai. See for yourself. The production is located in Vietnam. From local plantations tea leaves and fresh mountain ginger are brought to the factory. And there it undergoes special preparation.
It is peeled by hand, sliced and mixed with tea leaves to soak up the juice. Then everything is separately dried and packed for shipment to Russia. The same is done with pineapples. They are brought from the plantation, peeled, sliced, mixed and dried. In Russia, berries, fruits and herbs are added to the base.
Packaged in jars and the output is this gift set for the holidays. The main thing is to brew correctly. Two spoons per 600 ml of boiling water 15 minutes and you have not just tea, and a whole ritual for cozy evenings.
If you are still thinking about the perfect gift for March 8, here it is. Warmth, care, natural flavor. You can buy individually in Perekrestok, Azbuka Vkusa, Lenta, Metro, Hyperglobe and Vkusvil.
And this set is available only on the marketplaces Ozone and Weilburys. Lithuanian RP, of course, interesting, but as a gift for March 8... You know, better to take Sokochai.
And by the way, I already bought such a set for my wife and niece. The link is in the description, and we're back to the review. So, we have laid out the beauty, let's take it in order and very briefly. All the same, Europe has gone in the direction of simplifying the IRP, it's actually strange, because, let's say, here in this solder, in the new one, there is no any heater. There is a flameless special one, there is a flameless special one, there is a taganok special one in a paper envelope, notice the quality, right? It's certainly not like the French.
It's all bullshit. But, nevertheless, it's there. About the main courses. If in the old version we have a cardboard box, this beautiful package, 240 grams, then here there is no box, but a 300-gram version. That's good. Next.
For some reason in the new version there are no galettes. The old one had SU-1 galettes. Another difference is the bags with small things. If before there were two of them for some reason, I do not know why. The smaller one contains a spoon, warming tablets, sugar and gum.
The bigger one holds goodies, matches. And all sorts of other stuff, they've made it simpler here. One big bag with everything else in it.
Same thing. Napkins, spoons, some loose change, two sugar packets, gum, salt, coffee and instant drink. And, in my opinion, the new package is much more intelligently done. But let's start with the old one. As we know, in the winter, the flameless heater is not particularly eager to start up. That's why there's a little trick.
If you pour in warm water, the reaction will start instantly. And while the dish is warming up, here's some useful information. On an area comparable to our Stavropol Krai, live about 3 million 700 thousand people.
It borders with Belarus, Latvia, Poland and Russia. At the same time, it is a member of NATO. But once Lithuania was part of the USSR. Now it is a modest country with an average salary of about 2000 euros per month. Much or little it is possible to find out, proceeding from prices for foodstuffs.
There are only 26 thousand people in the army, but the military budget in 2024 amounted to 2.5 billion euros. That's not really a lot. Now let's finally move on to the meal. This is roughly what a Lithuanian soldier's lunch looks like. Let's start, well, as always, with the main course, which looks, by the way, well, agree, unpresentable. This is the rare case when I can scold European cuisine.
Some kind of incomprehensible coffin cutlet. Yes, there's a lot of meat. But the structure of the meat, the fibers, is innocent. It's not even ground meat, it's some kind of fried pate. And even more obscure, there's this polymer.
And all that's familiar is the carrot. Stew flavor. Together as if it were pasta.
Let's start with the polymer. Let's take a piece of it. Two.
Mmm. Mmm. Very large rice. One. It's rice. Rice? Yes, rice.
This is an example of how not to cook rice. That's funny. And a patty like this.
Here we go. Here comes the flesh. It's pork, but it's not fatty, unfortunately. See, there's a little bit of broth, but the cutlet's dry inside. That's it.
See, it's over. To the point where you think it's not real. It's like molecular cuisine, you know, they make something out of molecules, like pork is a pity to cut, artificially made.
It's like that, modern. Ants? From anything, yes. Have you been here since the beginning? But in general, very nice, harmonious, without sharp flavors. I'm telling you, it's like home cooking. But it looks terrible.
That's why I give it a five out of ten. Still, the dish should be more presentable, so that it could at least eat it could want to. And a little bit more. Mmm, I love pork. Well, I see you're doing well.
It's good. It's coming along. Didn't even need the galettes, but, uh, speaking of galettes. That's a whole other conversation.
Thank God they've given them up, because apparently there's been some cases of teeth breaking on that-- CAVABANGA! No, no shit, I'm old. Well, by the way, if you dip it in tea, you might get something. Here. You and I agreed you weren't gonna say that.
Oh, I'm sorry. Totally unpalatable crap, I'll give it a two on points, but I can see why they're here. There used to be canning jars, and this is from back in the day when regular galettes used to break under metal, rubbing against each other, and all this... This one's hard to break, it's reliable. I don't suffer for all the pleasure. About the tea.
That's the first time I've ever seen that. You can't tell from the tag what kind of farm. That's good. Let the soldier not know what he's drinking. But it tastes extremely cheap.
It's herbal. It's a little nasty. Oh, it's chamomile. You bitch. Bitch, is there any other way you can say that so I can at least fight back, asshole? Our next goodie is jam. This one's definitely from 2022.
Again, unpresentable. Guys, I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. If anyone's eating, bon appetit. I'll join you. Well, with meat. No, it's good, it's fine.
It's not that simple, gentlemen. Why does it look like that? Not because it's stale, no, because it's natural. It's not even jam, it's like grandma's jam. And not just from somewhere in the depths of the jar, but on the edge, just a little bit dried up, that's the flavor.
Because it's not so runny. Something to chew on. Man, I wish there was meat in here. Ten. The next good thing is nuts. Well, Europeans can't do without them.
It's a health food. It should be in every single ration. Because after dinner, if you haven't finished it, it's a great snack. Here we go. No protein. Somehow with echoes of apple seeds.
Not great quality. Four. Chocolate is also a traditional European ration item.
Well, ours is incomparably better. We have a soldier eating officer's chocolate. Ouch. It is so elaborate and so saturated with all the additional micronutrients, these chocolate structures, that none of this chocolate, it even, you see, turned white.
That's it. Our chocolate is not white. It's on who's biting. Understand correctly.
I like chocolate in general, in principle, any kind of chocolate. Well, the result is on the face. But this is the first European chocolate that I couldn't eat. The sediment is not milky at all, very bitter specific chocolate on a large, on such a larger I can only be saved by European chocolate. This is where they got their chemistry A's.
I feel like I'm drinking soza, the color is stunningly beautiful, but it tastes like sour water. It's not even sugary. And the worst part is the smell. Because God forbid you take a sip and smell it at the same time.
It smells like chlorine, you know? It's a chemical. You could clean your sinks with it. I'm serious. Well, a stake! Wait, wait, I think the smell is coming from the hat. Whoa, whoa, out of here. Yeah, that's right.
What hat? It's time for a new one. Are you crazy, what are you doing? No, don't touch my hat! And the final goodie is gum. There's two of them, and they're blue. Here we go. It doesn't even chew, it breaks and separates from each other and that's it, and they're gone. It's like a bigger candy bar, I swallowed it.
Well before I move on to the second ration, my wife just sent me this juicy, mouthwatering, hot red fish steak in the woods. What's cool is it only took 20 minutes to cook. And one appliance. Top of the line air grill. The Damin.
It replaces the grill, the oven, the microwave, and even the deep fryer. Because thanks to Fast Food Air technology, the hot air inside circulates 360 degrees. So the dishes turn out crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and all this without oil. The recipe is simple. Salt and pepper the fish to taste, put it in the erogrill and you can go about your business. Double heating and automatic steam supply will do everything by itself.
You don't need to turn anything, and cooking time is much less. And the best part is that you don't have to wash anything. You can use parchment or foil. And if cooking still required sacrifices from the non-stick coating - Everything is washed off in two counts.
Demiant will not only replace a bunch of appliances and make the cooking process simple and convenient, but will also please the eye in the kitchen. So follow the link in the description to order one for yourself, and subscribe to Demiant on Telegram for more new recipes for this miracle oven. And we continue on. Give.
Give it back. Let's move on to soldering the new version. Costs one such bag of 5200 rubles.
For this. I realize that this price tag is only in Russia. At home it costs much cheaper. I really liked its compactness. Removed everything superfluous and even important, so we warm up the dish in a water bath. In principle, in structure it is exactly the same as the previous one.
Also two drinks, one main course, a bunch of goodies. There's one alcoholic napkin already. It wasn't fucking alcoholic.
And it's big. That's good. There's more of everything. There's more stuff.
What? Oh, it's non-alcoholic, on the contrary. About the main course, I'm going to be cheeky and ask you to give it a special "Like" because we've chosen the menu very well. There was pork with rice and here the same thing, only here in Indonesian style.
But it's more like Uzbek pilaf. Here the rice is already crumbly, there is much less meat, literally one or two pieces, no more. Lots of peppers, peas and tomato relish. Here we go! I can just feel it coming. It's spicy.
It's just don't chew it and swallow it right away, it's not spicy. It's warming. It's so semi-American, it's that way. They smell the same dish too. Well, since they're next to Mexico, they like it spicy there too.
This is the other way. It's all harmony. Nice spiciness. You don't have to salt anything.
But there's one thing that's important to me. Why just a couple pieces of meat? I mean, couldn't you do that? Just a little bit more so I could pick at it. To chew on that pork, to feel it. Well, where is it? Just rice? You swallow it right down.
Oh, how the death penalty is needed. It can't be rated any other way, naturally, 10 points. The lack of meat in the previous dish is compensated by sausage. I tell you right away that this is a rarity in rations. Those who meet it are very lucky. We have no such thing at all.
After the island, it's hard to determine. But, first of all, it has a nice sweetness to it. Uh-huh.
How do they do that? Unfortunately, we don't even have anything like it in civilian stores. I've looked, honestly. The closest relative, it's in American civilian cuisine, they have these things.
They're very unusual, unusual for us, but very doggone tasty. Sweet beef, you can't confuse it with anything. It's a little peppery and salty, naturally. But the flavor is off the charts.
Ten. Oh, I've never seen anything like it. Do you know what this miracle is called? I don't know. Fruit fritters one. It's based on whole grain oatmeal and raisins. Very easy to break.
Here we go. And it's as loose as your body. Oh, wait. Uncle, you're not gonna throw it, are you? It's delicious for us.
You changed your mind, yes, that's right. Better all to yourself, all to yourself. Ouch, shoulder.
It's the first time I've eaten one of these. It looks, yes, I agree, not very good. And you probably thought it was a boring, lean, flavorless product. But, trust me, it's far from that.
It's kind of crazy. Very sweet, rich oatmeal flavor. And it's laced with cinnamon. It's like American pie, that's how they make it, love it. It's the same.
It's awesome. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. You know, maybe we should go to America. Winter.
It'll blow you away quicker there. I'm pretty fucked up here. Man, this is truly the most caloric meal here. Of course, a tenner's just not enough.
I don't even feel like drinking anything. But we have drinks anyway, and to adequately separate this from each other in some way, let's wash it down with another chemically colored isotonic, which looks like this. It's a different color. And it is designed again for more. If the previous one, in principle, for a glass it was already a lot for him, it was tasteless, then here, excuse me, for 400 milliliters. That's almost a flask.
Here we go. Oh! It's powerful, it's luscious, it's berry, it's disgusting. But flavor-wise, it's a lot more fun than the last one. Because you don't get that nasty smell. It's still fruity here, it's not real, yes, I agree.
But at least it smells nice, damn it. And it tastes more or less adequate. Blackcurrant, what could be better? Come on, don't lie. I don't know how to throw something at you. Everything's pathetic. Ten.
Moving on without stopping. Next up, the next advanced dish. Nuts and raisins.
And it's already an assortment. And there are nuts that I don't even know. That's what this garlic is. There's a lot of everything. And that's good.
Because the last one wasn't even close. No choice. This one did. Oops.
That's a big slice, it doesn't taste good. Uh-oh. It's soft, yes, no question, but it's not good.
Keep going. It's a very good walnut. Mostly I don't get it, so we'll take a handful. I don't know, it tastes great to me. No, don't get me wrong, I'm not gonna pry. It's great, improved, but they didn't finish everything.
Everything that's in here, you see, they're so whitish. It's probably so that there's less oil, i.e. some extra cholesterol, which the body doesn't need. They're all worried about it, like they're athletic, you know, all that stuff. Soldiers need to be powerful.
There's an eight here for that approach. This is where you want something to drink. And once again, we have a drink for that. It's called coffee.
It looks like this. Two packets of sugar added. And I don't know why two. There was hardly any sugar in there.
You could have just left one bag. Also, by the way, saving money, why not? Here we go. Oh, shit. Oh, that's disgusting. So we're rotting our fingers.
The flavor is very chewy, disgusting. Second. The sugar didn't help. I stirred it in. Didn't do any good. The coffee's still bitter.
Stirred it. Stirred it. No, don't distract me. Zero. I was stirring.
By the way, these two gummies are no longer blue, they're green. Democracy. I'm not gonna argue, Sergei. I wasn't in the way. You're in my way now. Very much.
Right now. The whole review. That's the power. Look at this Gerakakwa.
No, it's funny, it's funny, but, uh. It's a fat anomaly. Hold on. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. No, that wasn't a laughing matter, by the way. You shouldn't be laughing right now.
And now for the traditional verdict. First of all, thanks to Arunus for the favor and the goodies. Secondly, we already tried the old version of Pike once back in 2017. And it was basically exactly the same. But stability faltered after the Lithuanian army budget increase in 2024. And as a result, they created a new version.
Yes, the package solution is controversial. Yes, there are no warmers, but... They were able to improve the most important thing - the quality, quantity and variety of food. They have at least 24 menus like the Americans have.
And before they only had 10 menus. So there is an improvement. I like the spoon. Compared to the old one, it is much bigger, deeper and stronger.
The napkin is bigger and better too. And it doesn't smell like lemon. The main course is my fav.
And the main feature, jerky and pastry niceties. To replace the annoying old galettes. All in all, I have to say, well done. There you go. Guys, thanks again for watching our videos. Don't forget to thumbs up, subscribe to the channel, leave a comment.
It's very important to us and YouTube algorithms. A special respect to all those who support the channel on Boost. There are released a little earlier than on the main channel, and they are without advertising. All, we are waiting for spring and thaw.
Good luck to everyone, goodbye.
