Pakistani soldier is firing Anza but on which vechile he is standing and when Pakistan started using it ?
 
i don't know but we need a lot of wheeled APV as these are more versatile than their tracked counterparts and can be used on roads without damaging them.
 
It's a BTR 80. Pakistan does not own many of these, these are infact owned by UN.
 
The photo comes from the Air defense battle masters competition in Yeysk, Russia. It's not a Pakistani owned vehicle, though this particular vehicle is adorned with the Pakistani flag, but only for identification purposes..

A few other photos from the event:

Not to be confused with the BTR-82:

Or Ukrainian BTR-7:
