so uh i don't know anything about this and it's probably bullshit but there's some twitter chatter about the number of EAM's going out today to be way higher than normal, according to https://eam.watch/ there have been 15 so far today some country bumpkin is doing a livestream about it, so i guess at least if the nukes pop off on the eve of the midterms, you can listen to major kong's play by play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ECn-GQgYqI

Ive been watching that weirdo on Youtube that eats MREs and I'm watching the one he did on Ukraines rations earlier this year and it got me wonderingz consdiering the diminished capacity of Ukrainian industry and that we're bankrolling the entire governemt, is Ukraine still able to produce their MRE packs or are we just shipping them ours? If they were gettint ration packs from NATO countries I assume we would have had pcitures of Russians eating whatever American, Canadian or British packs get sent over. Which Frosted Flake, whats the rationale for issuing the heating element separate of the food pack in the Canadian rations. That seems to defeat the idea of a meal ready to go in a single container and more likely to result in the issuing of good packs with forgotten or lost heating elements

They still probably produce their own MREs at this point. Also, MRE people to be are still not as weird as boat couples.

That seems to defeat the idea of a meal ready to go in a single container and more likely to result in the issuing of good packs with forgotten or lost heating elements We usually make ours in a pressure cooker or a pan of boiling water on a stove, both of which can be issued to every section. The rationale is the chemicals are expensive, dangerous and a wartime contingency, stoves and pressure cookers are not. Beyond that, IMPs are rarely eaten as is. We have field kitchens that try to provide hot food for at least two meals a day, unless under the most extreme circumstances, run up to the forward positions in hayboxes.   I know it’s a British Army thing but can’t remember if it was a Boer War thing or not, but they take pride in providing monstrous quantities of eggs, bacon, beans and tomatoes basically unless you are being overrun, and it’s “Push” logistics which means that you will have to send a vehicle or bearers from the battery to pick up the food from the kitchen. They will not get off your rear end otherwise On Remembrance Day, in garrison, they deliver hayboxes of Chilli and Chowder to artillery units, as is tradition. So Friday, if I go to an artillery function, there will be food provided by an army kitchen, in garrison, in a city, that a couple of Gunners had to drive to pick up. They take it pretty seriously too, and one of the jobs for new enlisted men is to dispose of the tens of litres of Chilli and Chowder after everyone has eaten, and a junior officer to supervise, while everybody else gets drunk.

ELON MUSK’s plan to charge users for Twitter verification could be quite the opportunity for Russia. The new owner’s subscription policy — $8 a month for that coveted blue checkmark — doesn’t start until after the midterms, but the national security world is already crafting doomsday scenarios. The dangers are much more worrisome than some of the threats of warfare from foreign adversaries, argued GLENN GERSTELL, a senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies who served as general counsel of the National Security Agency and Central Security Service from 2015 to 2020. “I’m sure that the Kremlin, VLADIMIR PUTIN and YEVGENY PRIGOZHIN are delighted to know that for just $7.99 a month, you can sow discord and set Americans against each other,” Gerstell told NatSec Daily, referring to the Russian oligarch who admitted to interfering in U.S. elections on Monday and vowed to continue doing so. “From their point of view, that sounds like, “Wow, what a great deal. Where do we sign up?’” That may be hard for Musk to square with his ambitious goal for the platform: “Twitter needs to become by far the most accurate source of information about the world. That’s our mission,” he tweeted Sunday evening. One of the issues with the verification policy users have pointed out is the ability to easily impersonate an authentic person by simply changing your own profile name. Many verified users, including comedian KATHY GRIFFIN, took the opportunity to poke fun and impersonate the world’s richest man. It seemed to get his attention, with Musk announcing a new policy shortly after and suspending the comedian’s account. "Going forward, any Twitter handles engaging in impersonation without clearly specifying ‘parody’ will be permanently suspended," Musk tweeted, pledging that violators will not be warned of the suspension. And while midterms get a pass, the lax verification policy comes as political tensions rise ahead of the next presidential election cycle. That’s a prime opportunity for foreign adversaries to spread disinformation — and it’s more likely that people will share information that comes from verified accounts. “Remember what I’ve been saying all along, about ‘look to your state and election officials, look to those trusted, authoritative sources for information,’” former Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Director CHRIS KREBS said during a Washington Post Live event Monday, referencing Twitter Blue’s verification policy. “If you upend that model at a time when authoritative information is absolutely critical, I think there’s a significant amount of risk." Russian trolls aren’t the only foreign adversaries to watch out for in the next two years, Gerstell said. China appears to be stepping into the disinformation game, taking a page out of Russia’s playbook. With the chance to add credibility on Twitter, “it just adds fuel to the fire.”

The only MREs that ever looked good were the European ones. I would take a Russian MRE over an American one though, it is just basically random food from a grocery store.

UGRs are just big MREs. Every time I was sent as support on the field I'd rather eat the MRE than sit in a line waiting for UGR food.

They add huge quantities of butter to the eggs here, which I’m guessing goes back to WW2 powdered eggs or something, but it always made me sick to my stomach and I’m not sure why you’d do that with fresh eggs. Something like this but beat even more smooth.  None of the photos really do it justice. Anyways, you have to eat it with a spoon from a bowl. You get the idea.

MREs aren’t great but they’re “fine” and usually have a couple items that are a mix of good enough and fast/easy to eat. but even in the field, if you’re not a light or highly mobile unit, probably getting 2 hot meals a day as FF described and an MRE for lunch or midnight meal. Maybe it’s better now but Marine hot food was truly awful and an officially lower grade than army food.

I’m positive that this is one of those things that’s become a tradition even though the cause of it is gone, like sausage rolls, pie and mash and jellied eels. I don’t mind bully beef or jam, but those were phased out because it’s not 1916, we don’t need to eat them. You don’t need to add all that butter to fresh eggs, like in your video you can add a bit, it’s not powder. Though apparently when the Brits recently tried to discard bully beef there was so much outcry they had to bring it back, so maybe these things are set in stone.

I can’t stomach eating anything sulphurous if I’ve been near the gunline, or even if I’m thinking about it. Overcooked boiled eggs will make me retch. I think we’ve been sending IMPs to Ukraine I wonder if they like the poutine ones.
