I thought that Lyra Model 299 was the new standard body armor for PA?
299 is the same old body armour... soldiers have to wear webbing over it.. and can attach few "pockets".. and a "MOLE System".

Those are US given interceptor vests which are of the old 1990s design. Pakistan does not make or employ in large numbers any version of a modern plate carrier (neither does anyone else in the region).

Interceptor vests or any other vest which opens from the front is worn coat-style. The "newer" vests that DESERT FIGHTER is referring to are a little better but also more coat-style than over-the-head style. They are also 90s technology. They also only have one shoulder release point making it awkward to put on and take off. Not to mention that the actual plate holder is way down the chest leaving the upper chest exposed.

I think @Zarvan. Can find the other vests shown at Ideas 2016...

We have been making plate carrying vests for years.

Lyra Model 218 Most common type of Body armour in the forces.
Lyra Model 299 the one that has been replacing the Model 218. Has multi-hit capability for 7.62 x 51 and can defeat API.

I do know that the rate of production has been less than optimum meaning that units have to leave behind vests for their replacements, one of the reasons POF has been asked to develop. The other complaint I heard of the Model 218 is that it was hell on the shoulders, I don't know if the Model 299 fixes that.
