Guys, is it me or they have standard issue forest camouflages? Considering their vastly sandy terrain, I think they should get sand camouflage patterns like the ones Americans have. They'd be easily visible with green on sandy colour.

Valid point but then again they also have forested areas and areas with blended vegetation, to which this would suit well. Furthermore it would be an issue of supply and demand and uniformity.

Uniformity is the main reason why the US scrapped the famous 3 tone desert BDUs in replacement for the universal "Computerised" BDU. In Pakistan we use the subdued desert/jungle camo and it works pretty well.

In the long run once the army is fully functional and G2 and LAND Command systems are in place i can assume that this will change dramatically.
