Pleased to see improvement in border guards in terms of personal equipment. Border Guards being the less priority and less supported units, are in fact equipped to a decent degree. Use of pickup trucks honestly not an issue, these are border guards and light transport is sufficient for the threats they have to deal with. I know it's a small thing, but the fact they are all carrying standardized equipment and for god sakes helmets is a positive sight. Since these are border guards, the prevalence of heavier equipment like APCs & MRAPS will be less so but visible.
Reading between the lines, we see the border guards facing the Kurdistan region of Iraq is the best equipped in Iran. This clearly indicates the threat perception from Iraqi Kurdistan is taken very seriously, while we do not see this in the east facing Afghanistan or Pakistan. Little threat from groups perceived there.
