Russian military personnel receive a wider variety of food products than astronauts, according to Colonel General Valery Solodchuk, Deputy Defense Minister and Chief of Logistics of the Russian Armed Forces.

Solodchuk explained that military food supplies are organized around several key requirements, including adequate calorie intake, nutritional value and the provision of essential vitamins. He stressed that these standards remain unchanged.

The general also claimed that the range of food products currently available to Russian servicemen surpasses the selection provided to astronauts.

In addition to standard military rations, Russian troops have gained new capabilities for preparing and preserving their own food.

According to Solodchuk, military units have received food dehydrators and vacuum-sealing equipment, allowing soldiers to process and store various products independently.

The equipment enables servicemen to prepare dried and cured meat, expanding their options for food preservation.

The deputy defense minister also detailed the official daily food allowances established for Russian military personnel.

Under the current standards, each soldier is entitled to 250 grams of meat, 600 grams of potatoes and 300 grams of vegetables per day.

The daily provisions also include milk, butter, cheese and other food products.

Solodchuk emphasized that maintaining the nutritional quality and calorie content of military meals remains a central requirement of the Russian Armed Forces' food supply system.
