Let me in you on a little not so secret, the reason why Pakistan has one of the biggest peacekeeping presence is because the Soldiers on UN duty get paid several times their average salary.

The soldiers themselves won’t, but the govt does. The probably disburse a small fraction of that to the soldiers and redistribute the rest into their coffers

Not true, I have to talked to someone that was deployed to the DRC if I remember correctly he received something like 12 lakh pkr for a 6 month deployment, that's 2x his yearly basic pay and this was back in 2021

It's about half, not bad considering most countries don't pay soldiers beyond their average salary for these mission.
