Soviet flasks remain popular today. True, they are no longer used by the military, but by fishermen, hunters and avid tourists. The flasks are made of high quality aluminum. Their volume is 0.75 liters.
The main advantage of this product over modern bottles made of plastic or glass can be called strength due to the material and the shape, which is close to anatomical. Of course, initially wearing it on a belt causes some discomfort, but this is only in the first days, and then a person just gets used to it and does not notice this object.
If the flask was previously in use, then it will have dents, and often there are a lot of them. The older the product, the more dents it has. Especially badly dented soldiers' flasks of the Second World War. Many of them were generally almost flat due to their flattening.
Some people think they crumpled them on purpose. The goal was simple - to hold less water. Carrying 750 ml of liquid on a belt is not very easy, and for an incompletely filled container, the commanding staff could solder a reprimand. In fact, this is just a fiction and has nothing to do with reality.
For a soldier, especially in a military environment, water is a vital product. No matter how difficult or inconvenient it is, not a single military man will deprive himself of a supply of life-giving moisture. Therefore, there could be no question of special deformation. Moreover, for such tricks, the soldier is clearly not patted on the head. And who wants to incur the wrath of their superiors?

In reality, there is nothing surprising in so many dents. Aluminum is a fairly soft material that easily wrinkles when pressed. Even for the same tourists and fishermen, small dents on the flasks are not uncommon. What can we say about the soldiers who have to fall to the ground, crawl, overcome obstacles. And if this is not a doctrine, but a war, then it would be surprising if it were not for this deformation.

Of course, there is no mystery in such a phenomenon with army flasks. But in spite of everything, it is the Soviet flasks that are distinguished by their practicality and strength. Well, if it is in a case, then the temperature of the contents is also maintained.
In everyday life, flasks made of plastic, ceramics or glass are no less practical. Such containers are much safer. Read, why you should never reuse plastic water bottles.
