I more approve of this version of the VDV song.

Very good. I think Saudi soldiers would do even worse than the VDV. Only their Pakistani mercenaries are worth anything when their opponents aren’t Yemenese children or Saudi women.

I suspect you're correct.

I wasn't familiar with that Pakistani group though.

The bodyguards (and special forces 'advisers') are ex Western, SAS or American special forces. The teachers are British and American. The officers are Saudi but they're idiots, same as the NCOs. The fighters are foreign contract soldiers. The women beaters are Saudi. https://carnegieendowment.org/research/2020/02/foreign-contract-soldiers-in-the-gulf?lang=en&center=middle-east
