The new food ration

Meat products from the supplier of the Kremlin, the most high quality chocolate of factory of a name of Babayev, and to all this tablewares and utensils from stainless steel. It is a picture not from restaurant, and from a soldier's dining room. The Ministry of Defence from this year changes system of maintenance of military men a feed and their diet. On Wednesday military department has arranged presentation of new "menu" and food the soldering.
Izvestia
Situated near Moscow Monino. In a pine wood the confidential, strategic object of Ministry of Defence "has got lost". Imperceptible with a kind base - the research center where the diet of military men is developed and checked in practice.

- The new food ration is the balanced theory of a military feed, - the chief of the Central management of food service Jury Burdjug speaks.

"News" have checked up, as far as it was possible to find this "balance" in practice.

Bread and the groats giving a maximum quantity of calories, in the past. Over the new soldier's diet is dominated with fats of an animal origin - oil and meat. The accent is made on attraction as experts are expressed, " maximal albumens grocery lines ". Except for meat and oil, it is fruit and vegetables. Till 90th years our army ate groats and bread. Transition to new products is an attempt to correspond to the international standards.

- Before proceeding to a new diet, we sent our officers to Milan and Stuttgart, on exhibitions of the process equipment, - Jury Burdjug tells. - we Purchase not only the advanced dishwashers, double boilers, but even boilers with the built - in preventing devices. You will not believe, but in our porridge there are no lumps!

Several years ago in army began experiment on translation into a contract principle of acquisition soldier's and сержантских posts in parts of constant alertness. Контрактник is a mercenary. It should be engaged only in combat training, orders on kitchen, cleaning of a potato - not his business. Now the potato will be cleaned with technics. Under plans of Ministry of Defence at each military unit will be special "work" which not only will clean a potato, but also will cut, will pack her in vacuum packing. Three days - working life. Longer in entrenchments and dugouts will not be late.

For other military units variants of maintenance by a feed - from "buffet" (the soldier can eat so much, how many can) before deliveries in military units быстроразмораживаемых semifinished items are offered.

- We tried to order in private structures ready I peep, - the general speaks. - Disposable plates, plastic devices are somehow incorrectly. In a result we have stopped on intermediate variant - the fresh products prepared directly regarding.

Today the soldier - NCO at breakfast can expect for coffee with milk and a sandwich with cheese. And several years ago instead of coffee the drink prepared from "желудей" was. The last year Ministry of Defence has spent 22 billion roubles for purchase of products for army. 1 million 200 thousand soldiers and officers in 2007 have eaten 600 thousand tons of the foodstuffs. One meat - 50 thousand tons.

However the main "food" know-how consists in a mobile feed of army. The new "mountain" ration, presentation in Монине, is the products "sealed" not in cans, and in polyethylene bags.

- It is easier to prepare for them, - major Ruslan Sozinov speaks. - they more калорийны, absolutely take into account specificity of actions of our divisions in mountains., for example, brick - prunes with nuts (it is similar on шоколадку. - "News"). And it is intended not only for meal but also to raise the maintenance of oxygen at the military man. The package for fast разогрева products is simple in the use. It does not demand matches. Has squeezed a package - the product was warmed up.

The modern army is ready to go on inconceivable charges on Soviet times for a feed of soldiers. The usual army ration for the infantryman costs 220 roubles, and for mountain an arrow - 750. But is still the soldering for pilots and submariners.

- During Peter times it was necessary to the soldier of the Russian army of one and a half litre of beer and 150 grammes of vodka. Why today it is not present in a diet? - have asked "News".

- H'm... Taking into account mentality of our people, we do not presume to ourselves it today, - somehow is confused major Sozinov has answered. - But, do not overlook, in the soldering of submariners still there is a red wine...

Soldier's ration: the foot - test of "News"

On July, 24, 2007 edition of the newspaper of "News" has lead the foot - test army food the soldering. Two employees of edition tried " Peas boiled ", " Forcemeat pork сосисочный ", " Sauce tomato sharp. For spesial, " Jam fruit (apple) ", " the Drink milky " Good morning - M " (a substitute of milk) "," the Concentrate of a natural dry drink "Years", " Tea soluble for spescontingent ", " Coffee natural soluble " also put the estimations on a five-point scale. So, peas has received " the three pro chemical послевкусие ", tomato sauce - " the two pro not gastronomic color ", and "four" has got to forcemeat which " hardly is similar to cheap dairy sausages with the plentiful maintenance of a toilet paper ". In a result a mean score the soldering - "is satisfactory". To tell the truth, experts of "News" - in the past fighters of the Soviet Army - recognized, that in field conditions the ration seem is more tasty. On "citizen" the soldier's meal is in another way perceived.
