Recently, a Ukrainian soldier took a video of eating self-heating military food posted on social media. Interestingly, this pack of self-heating food is full of Korean , which is obviously a single military ration that South Korean aid. After the soldier opened it, he was full of rice and dishes. Netizens analyzed that this might be a Korean-style kimchi chicken rice. Ukrainian soldiers scooped up the chicken with a spoon and took a bite, and even showed satisfaction with it with a thumbs up. This is the first time that South Korean individual military rations have appeared on the Ukrainian battlefield. In fact, since March this year, South Korea has begun to provide individual military rations to Ukraine.

read the previous news. As early as March 15, Yonhap News Agency reported that South Korean Ministry of Defense spokesman Hu Shengcan said that the list of military aid materials provided by South Korea to Ukraine has been finalized and is negotiating with Ukraine on transportation plans and other matters. Aid supplies include bulletproof helmets , tents, blankets, military rations and other military supplies, as well as personal emergency package , medicines, etc., which does not contain weapons of destruction and are worth 1 billion won (approximately RMB 5.15 million).
The most unknown among them, but what is very important to soldiers is military rations!

Military rations specifically refer to the food used by the troops.
Modern battlefields generally distribute individual rations to soldiers with self-heating function, which can meet the nutrition, calorie and other supply of soldiers after high-intensity combat.
South Korea attaches more importance to the research and development of military self-heating rations, but the taste is still more important than the taste buds of oriental people. Of course, some also have Korean kimchi . The following is a Korean military ration that netizens once tried. It weighs 330 grams and has very little calories, only 564 kcal, which is equivalent to 1 pack of potato chips. A soldier needs to replenish at least 2,000 kcal of calories on the 1st, which obviously does not have enough calories. The content of the Korean military's self-heating rations is also very simple, with only one pack of biscuits, self-heating fried rice, cooked food, and seasonings. There is also a fork and a folding paper lunch box.

The Korean military’s self-heating rations also have their own characteristics, that is, it adopts a unique “one pull and heat” heating method.
After netizens' evaluation, Han Jun's self-heating rations packed with water. As long as the pull-up ring on the packaging is pulled off, the fried rice can be heated, and it only takes 2 minutes to eat. This operation method is quite like pulling off the grenade and pull ring. The advantage is that it does not require the soldiers' drinking water. The disadvantage is that it is likely to leak water in the packaging on the battlefield.
Although the author has never eaten Korean individual military rations, he has eaten a regular sailor lunch on a Korean warship. The amount is as small as military rations, and he has not eaten enough for me. Just like this kind of military ration, it lacks calories. I wonder if the tall and powerful Ukrainian soldiers can eat enough after eating a pack?
