Maybe you’re looking at older photos or ones of soldiers not deployed in Ops zones. The average PA soldiers standard gear has increased a lot over the course of the war on Terror, it’s just that our military doesn’t do many photo Ops.Can somebody explain why the average Pakistani infantry soldier is so under equipped? Not talking about special forces. Just your average Pakistani soldier. I noticed the same thing with Indian soldiers.
I was watching a video from Lebanon. The average Lebanese soldier seemed much better equipped than the average Pakistani/Indian soldier. The Lebanese military does not even rank in the top 50. In comparison both Pakistan and India rank in the top 10. Most of Lebanon's military budget comes from overseas aid.
Pakistan and India both billions of dollars every year to maintain their nuclear arsenals. Yet they can't spend a couple of million of dollars to give their solider proper equipment?
That could be true. I thinked the pictures i was looking at was from Swat operation in 2009.Maybe you’re looking at older photos or ones of soldiers not deployed in Ops zones.

As for Lebanon, keep in mind they have a tiny, foreign funded military and were a rather wealthy country up until recently, Pakistan and Indian armies are massive, even then, I think regular PA soldiers are better equipped than either.
Look at 2016-present pictures and see the difference, it’s true that in 2009 PA wasn’t well equipped on the individual level, but those operations are exactly what pushed it towards that.That could be true. I thinked the pictures i was looking at was from Swat operation in 2009.
