Turkey and Pakistan launch joint navy drill

It can be a budget/priorities thing. Yes, in the macro-sense, it shouldn't be a problem seeing there are relatively few SOF operators, so even fully outfitting them shouldn't cost much. However, when we talk about large organizations like the PA, each 'department' has a budget, and within its own budget, the SSG might not be able to spare a lot for new equipment (as-of-yet). OTOH, it seems LCB operators are indeed getting contemporary-looking gear.

Good point but there’s no reason why they shouldn’t exercise harder. They look out of shape to an objective eye.

by out of shape you mean no muscle build up? the same people have won cambrian patrol time and again(Edit: Army has won the medal, a force that does not undergo as tough a training as the SSG). and they are tested for endurance etc. before being commissioned, at the end of training.

I have seen 18 year old air-soft players with better gear and menacing looks than these apparently Pakistani “commandos”

Their purpose is not to look menacing, but to complete the task that they are given. seriously, this is your criteria for judging capabilities? Looks?
