What was the equipment used by Pakistan in 1965 war?

.
Almost all American. In 1960s we had the American Pakistan economic corridor like today we have China Pakistan economic corridor.
Thats because Ayub Khan and previous presidents of Pakistan were closely allied to America. They were allied to pacts also like the Baghdad Pact and Seato, which made America supply equipment to Pakistan.

it was useless war, India badly underestimated Pakistan like they are doing it now.

I was wondering lately about what the Pakistani army used in 1965 war against India. I couldn’t find any sources that were reliable enough or told me the information. Can somebody please tell me? Regards.

PA also used an ATGM. Either Cobra or SS-series (SS-10 or SS-11).

most of AT efforts was given to RR unites mounted jeeps. Indian feared it them the most.
