Yes, but it is a ratio thing.
British Army has a strength of about 150,070. About 300 personnel apply in each batch for Special Forces and about 30 recruits pass the Selection and Training.
Pakistan Army has a strength of about 654,000 . About 1000 personnel apply in each batch for Special Forces and 80-100 recruits pass the Selection and Training.

I think SAS has 3 regiments now.

The equipment worn by the Pakistani special forces are almost none existence when compared to the American servicemen. It’s time for Pakistan to invest in its special forces and equip them with the same gear that other special forces have. Even the afghani special forces have better gear than Pakistan.

Exactly what about this is better than what our SF use? In fact these guys aren’t even as well equipped as our regulars…one guy has cut his old helmet with what seems to be a knife to make room for his earpiece. While PA uses proper high cut helmets for this purpose. And the guy above is using an outdated NV sight that even our regulars have mostly phased out. Neither of them are even wearing combat boots. Neither in the second pic have body armor. No combat gloves. Not even helmets. And very basic optics apart from that ACOG.
Individual comms (including ear and mouth pieces) are already standard among regular infantry that are deployed. So are plate carriers, optics, flashlights, lasers, grenade launchers and so on. The only difference is the Old M4 those guys are holding. And I don’t know Pakistanis obsession with old M4s, they’re not much better than AKs. And certainly not better than what the SSG uses. SSG is very well equipped for its role and task with the amount of money we have, sure there’s always modernization to be done in both equipment and tactics, but modernization takes time and we’ve certainly seen a lot of it in the last 15 years. Not to mention the SSG with it’s apparently “poor” gear has performed better than any Afghan or US special forces could against the Taliban. It’s just that out forces tend to get the job done instead of show off gear

Look at those, some of them aren’t even recent, and the last one is regular infantry in the helicopter, much better equipped than what people seem to think they have during ops.

"Wasim got an initial bullet wound and his buddy pulled him and made him sit with his back against a rocky boulder. in his last radio call he stated that his ammo had finished and he was pulling out his Glock
." remembering the fallen of Inzar Gul, Tirah; utter carnage.

Captain Razi was an IS recipient from the Swat Operations. led a team from the Hamza Company of the 3 Commando "Powindahs" on that day. his outgunned band of commandos was picked off one by one - the bastards even shot up their bodies at point-blank range.

The 13 who made the ultimate sacrifice - from Havaldar Kafeel Ahmed to Sepoy Asim Ali; Lance Naik Kashif Mahmood to Sepoy Tasawar Hussain, all of 'em fought till the end, and were awarded posthumous TBts. "most sports only need one ball - mine take both." rest easy Wasim.
