... to a certain extent but food and troops' morale have a direct connection:
In combat, at the line of contact? That's priceless--to get hot "soul food" delivered to you in trenches and dugouts, no MRE beats that. Russian Armed Forces are fed extremely well--a dramatic contrast with the Soviet Armed Forces where even first line formations have been experiencing dullness and not always good quality of food. Except the Navy, especially submarine forces--yeah, those guys ate well. Today it is different--not just high calories but a variety and taste. In the video you can see the cook filling retort packages with things ranging from favorite by many buckwheat kasha with meat to pasta.
Good meats, good pasta and in addition a huge inflow of donations by Russian people including a variety of delicacies and ... yep--candy, shitload of them. Good candy is a huge deal at the frontline, it has not only a satisfying taste, it is psychological and soothing. It calms nerves and often is a good substitute for smoking, which, depending on the tactical situation, could be hazardous in the open with IR channels being on many UAVs.
In related news, a very peculiar graphics which I leave without comments for now.
It is a very advanced aircraft, which is a further organic development of basic Mi-17.
It will be used by Iranian Emergency and S&R services. Per military aircraft, goes without saying about Mi-28NEs and likely further deliveries of Su-35s.
