lots of scots in it...alot of yorkshire guys too...know of 2 that were successful in joining. One now works on a farm in our village ..the other dont know about that one :(
@alenorasje thats kinda simple its 4 a few reasons,1 kevlar(with ceramic plates) vests these days will stop most rounds (up to a 7.62) ....2 your way takes three rounds...the two to the head drops people and they ARE NOT getting up(and honestly, there is not much left for the second round to hit),yep they have quick release/load magazines but the 2 seconds it takes could mean your going to the pub or into the bag.....so its head everytime
As much respect as I have for any speacial force for risking their lives, the U.S are just shite. The S.A.S have been and will always be the most effective, most efficient and most deadly special force in the world. Followed closely by the russian spetsnaz. The yanks are too ham fisted, Bulls in a china shop
The Americans will never compare to the SAS. The US make mistake after mistake but every time make up some dramatic story to show people they are the best.
I put in a recent post, the Americans have the highest friendly fire rate going.
Lets compare:
Sierra Leone, British troops were taken hostage. SAS and PARAS went in for the Rescue, 1 soldier died. The SAS in the Iranian Embassy. SAS in the prison rescue and so on..
Us Rescue: The recent kidnapped brit woman, black hawk down and so on.
@TehOneKid my m8s dad served in the regiment and worked with seals, people argue who is better but the members dont give a shit, all they care about is saving lives
I think you'll find your typical US Navy Seal will have the same training as a standard marine. They just use their time more effectively and concentrate on other areas. SAS do exactly the same only they spend 3 years now.
I love it how they say it doesn't matter because were allies but if it were other way round they wouldn't let us forget about it, especially in world war 2 when they say they saved our ass. But I do agree it doesn't matter but they should of said that in the first place until realising who is the daddy of war fare and that's the U.K.
it doesnt matter whos better anyway, they are allies, they have fought along aside each other for years, so it doesnt matter because if they have a joint operation, the other guys will be dead in seconds. so stop having rage wars at each other for nothing.
That's BULLSHIT (1) most soldiers that come into the SAS come from other army British or commonwealth REGIMENTS (2) the others come from nothing more then their experience as such the, is what it is......in other words to be in the S.A.S you either got to be a great medic or telecommunicater (i.e be able to speak more then three languages etc..) OR BE DAMN GOOD IN KILLING for ones own country..... so FUCK your liberal minded folk ....cause when the shITE comes, guess what you only got S.A.S...
Here is the order I think the best special forces should be. Remember all nations have army spec forces and naval spec forces. SAS and SBS, delta force and navy seals, spetsnaz (trained in both), polish GROM (not well known but are very good), Israel commandos (very good force)
Ok, let me explain. The SAS were the first spec force in the history of man, created in 1941 in WW2 and since then, other nations crated their own spec forces, most of them trained and based on the SAS, including delta force, navy seals, Dutch, norwiegen spec forces, SAS is and will always be the elite, the best of the best. But if had to choose between the spetsnaz and seals I would go for seals because their training is tough and have actually killed spetsnaz in the past, it was a cold war mi
If SEALs is so good then why do loads of people know them?
SAS is so shit hot thats its got to be a secret who is in it for atleast 9 years. The only person I ever knew in the SAS so far is my uncle, they are such good killers that they can get fucked up and only know about killing someone, I once read that this women had to throw something at the Ex-SAS husband otherwise he would smash her nose in and probably break it, Thats how good SAS are, They have reactions in their sleep.
Tbh with that rescue mission in Afghanistan a month ago ish, why did Americans do it they killed a hostage with a frag in a close environment. so why do they use a frag grenade in a hostage situation? this is why the SAS or British para or royal marine commandos should of done it.
@fkinbrillant Your Dumb, US Special forces also have the Flash-Bang at their disposal. Do some reading on the subject. Before you make yourself look like a complete idiot.
@thegame52291 bin laden was your problem anyway, if bin laden had attacked the UK with planes then the SAS would have hunted him down and killed him long ago. but hey, only took '' SEAL Team 6 '' a long and exhausting 10 years to get the job done, well done!
@ArmyMad7 haha....actually it took out President and CIA 10 years, not SEAL Team 6. but if it had been in their hands they would have 'hunted him down and killed him long ago '...goodbye
Your forgetting! Google " SAS Bin larden 2001 December. " SAS had a chance to take out bin larden shortly after 9/11. the americans said wait we want to take him out. after Delta force turned up over an hour late bin larden got away.
That is why the best Special ops is SAS/SBS. Everything else is just a load of bollocks.
Got a question, the SAS shot directly into your head? Or only in the chest and then in the head? Mal eine Frage , schießt der SAS direkt in den Kopf ? Oder erst in die Brust und dann in den Kopf ?
I like the part where they said these soldiers have to train these guns until it is second nature.. as if it were an extension to your hand.. so in an actual combat theme... if i just have my hands i can almost instantaneously depict typical hostage | and | typical terrorist... but if i didnt have a gun trained, i would have lag in depicting.
The British Armed Forces and the U.S. Armed Forces are not enemies against each other, so what does it matter if one is better than the other? They aren't going to fight each other, are they? They have the same enemy and the same cause, and are allied if anything.
The SAS are known by and feared by every terrorist group and enemy of the western allies worldwide. Once the SAS go in, it's game over. Sure all the Special Forces are the best at what they do and respected.
But they're all based on and many are trained by the SAS. If it came down to the numbers of troops in SF units the US would win and they are very good at what they do, but the SAS are a small select few and are seen worldwide by many as the best. I agree..but I'm English so could be bias
Reading some of these comments is really a hoot. Do people not realize that SAS, SEALS, Special Forces, JTF2, GSG9, etc all train using the same techniques. They are all a part of NATO and thus they work together. They send members of their units to cross train with others. They share knowledge to make each other stronger. Each of these elite units specializes in something different and thus is the best in the world at what they do.
Anyone who thinks they can definitively say that 'SAS is better' or 'SEALS are better' is a retard. First of all, you aren't a member of the special operations community, so you have no idea who is regarded as the best within said community. Secondly, they are both professionals of the highest caliber in their field of operations. They both deserve a great deal of respect for the work they do, and they both would fuck you up something fierce.
How on earth do they keep it straight? I went to america to visit relatives once and fired it, 9mm isn't insane but it's still difficult to keep still.
After the 1980 Iranian Embassy siege the SAS put on a demonstration for the Royal Family. Usually they will place their team mates in between the targets although on this occasion they used Princess Diana. The room was blacked out and when the SAS burst in and opend fire on the targets next to Diana, Diana's hair actually caught fire due to the the rounds striking so close to her. Their training is as real as it gets. lol had they of fucked up....
@29Gixxer Her hair caught light due to hot particles from the flashbang and her hairspray.
After accidental death of a very experienced troop Seargent playing a hostage role the system was changed to screens depicting the next room to avoid any further "Mistakes".
@29Gixxer i think your confused buddy, delta force is nothing like SAS. try looking up grey fox operatives there as close to the SAS as u can get. delta force are just bad attitude soldiers and not a highly trained universol soldier and undercover agent and anything else the sas is involved in, you wont find out much on grey fox as there just as secret about there work as are the SAS lads. delta is good but there not as good as hollywood makes them to be, but they all do same job, kill enemy!
1st SFOD is the name I should of used instead of Delta. They are a tier 1 unit consiting of just a couple of 100 operators. Look up task Force Black. Delta is just a nickname and includes all the douches you're talking about. The SF structure in the US orces is so deep that people end up comparing the wrong units.
@uksaselite hahaahahahahahahahhahahahahaha what the fuck are you smoking dude? are u in 1sfod? did you ever work around them and if so in what group? if you are neither then you know nothing except for what you have read from others that know nothing. "bad attitude soldiers" really the guy thats 1 in about 10,000 has a bad attitude. the only way you really know what 1st sfod is or dose is to be a part of it, work along side them or directly support them. oh and ur not sas either. sof wont brag
@nm730d my father is currently serving right now u fanny.. i know more about them than u will ever u idiot.. u americans think u do everything on your own.. there is dutch, french german korean chinese special forces all working out there doing there bit.. your talking about a force that was put together for this war.. and thinking there doing it all themselves.. thats whats funny ha ha.. every soldier is doing his bit out there. your just a sad individual.. and to say 10000 sf thats a laugh!
@uksaselite serving with? i am also serving. i know that first sfod was based off of sas. never said we did it all ourselfs. everybody puts in there own blood sweat and tears so dont try and put words into my mouth that i never said buddy. no you fucking idiot the US dosent have 10,000 total sf. 1 in 10,000 soliders in the army is about what a 1st sfod opperator is that puts there number at about 200 or so. no 1sfod was not put together for this war.
@nm730d kind of soldier are u on you tube.. iv never put down delta except to say there not the same as sas...maybe they use sas tactics but there not that good at hostage rescue.. may be if u read instead of butting in. your army has good men but no fuckin brains mate!!! pulling a trigger and racking up kills is not what this is about. any way delta was started after an american trained with the brittish and thought shit we dont have anything like that so deltas second best mate.. deal with it!
@uksaselite US army 82nd airborne currently what is your father if you dont mind me asking? i know how 1st sfod was started. so your tellin me guys that are the absolute best in the us millitary at thinking outside the realm of traditional military tactics have no brains? dont get me wrong i have massive respect for any sof. whether jsoc, cag, sas, sbs, sf, 1st sfod. personally i believe they are both the best in the world. what makes me mad is the people that cant do what they do judging them.
@nm730d i dont know what he does, all i know is iv not seen him since christmas 2010. 1 letter from him just before xmas past. my mums friends have lost husbands last year and i know my dad was like brothers too them. he sent pictures of tora bora ages ago when they took it after a fight. my dad is my hero and i know he is different from regular soldier because of where he gets to be in the world.. we know nothing about what he does.Like i said delta is nothing like sas, similar but not same!!
The navy seals are just soldiers with a fancy badge, they don't really get on the same level as the SAS and Spetsnaz, mainly because America only focuses on numbers and physical conditioning instead of mental and psychological conditioning as well.
not cool man. Navy SEALS are a big deal. part of the reason why America has such a great military. If it wasn't for the SEALS then other military branches wouldnt have as much intel and stuff. Overall, don't hate on us because we have a great military =)
No they are soldiers who have proved them selves in battle but the point about the american military is that it has a very large army for a fully industrialised country.
The British army has proportionally a bigger budget for far fewer troops so gives them better training and equipment.
@KngOf210 you do but brits dont have the numbers americans do so the brits cant afford to lose what they got hence the more intense training..its been like that for years and it was a SAS guy years back that said the americans needed a elite force....this is when they got trained by sas and started seals etc...
@wr1swd84 I will admit that America's military is great not only because of training but because of numbers so other elite teams like the SAS for example have to be trained but harder because numbers are smaller. the way i see it though, America's Navy SEALS are basically the American version of the SAS. not in all ways though. SEALS are better than the SAS in some things and SAS are better then the SEALS in other ways. Both work in smaller teams though
@KngOf210 well i see what you mean but i know they get advise from each other..i mean any advise is good advise off the best.....i know 1 little part of sas training is a 40 mile hike with a 55 lb bergen on...live in the black hills of wales for 3 weeks approx...jungle training too for weeks without a lifeline, escape n evasion where sas have been in them very situations themselves hunt you for days on end.then continous training there on, so your in constant trainin.escape for dogs at night etc
@KngOf210 Sorry mate bit the SEALS really do fade in comparison to the SAS. Anyway it would be the SBS that would be the best comaparison as they are masters of the water based SF techniques and they are fearsome. Mostly they come from the Royal Marines which are already the world's premier commando force and THEY have the longest and most arduous training of ANY NATO conventional force. I could go and do BUDS as a civilian and then get into SEALs - not the same thing really is it
@KngOf210 know your facts man. Delta force is by far the most elite force out there. They have bi annual recruitment and may only accept 40ppl some years to their TRAINING, after training its expected only 20% make it through and get chosen to get assigned to a team.Delta force reruits from everywhere and anywhere, from america and all countries therefor. This includes Seals, SF, Rangers, even from regular infantry such as 10th mt and etc. They dont care where you are from as long as you are
to be honest my friend you cant compare the SAS to the seals as everyone knows the SAS isn't trained intensively in water warfare . but u can compare the seals to the SBS due to the fact the SBS are experts in water warfare
@loughbraadam The SAS have 4 troops to each squadron, Air (haho halo etc), Boat, Mobility and Mountain.
Boat troops do all the same hi-spec training that the SBS do but the SBS are larger in numbers for larger scale jobs.
So the SAS do have a water specialist contingent. The reason not much is heard of them is because the SAS first and foremost is an intelligence gathering group, Boat Troops specialising in clandestine water insertion of men and materiel for intel gathering/recon.
@wr1swd84 The Seals come from the Underwater Demoltion Teams (UDT's) of WW2. It's 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta or Delta Force that was formed by Charlie Beckwith after serving on exchange with 22 SAS. It is now so large it has more aircraft than our own RAF!
@KngOf210 the thing is you dont. you just have numbers. you are loseing the afghan war and you had to call in britain for back up. what a great army!!
@Callofdutyboys Im American, and i posted this video because i do respect the SAS. You better respect America because if you don't your not welcome here.
@KngOf210 well not to the ones who say there speical force unit, best at everything, they arnt; my respect to the americans are slim (in army terms). they shot at the english and there own. but the average joe are ok
@kromed01 Guess who have they biggest army and the much shorter tranning, america. You can't compare an whole army agianst an special forces group like sas. The us Rangers have 8 weeks of training and the sas have about a year. But they are very diffrent kind of troops, the sas are trained for counter terrorism mostly while the rangers are trained in open land warfare. And if the sas tactics are so good why don't all the soldiers in the britisth army use them. Because they are only for CQB.
@kromed01 Neither. No matter how tough anyone thinks they are, they usually have family members or other emotional and rational reasons to want to survive and make it back home. It's people who don't have that kind of emotional connection who are at the peak of mental toughness
@kromed01 BTW, DevGru (the ones who killed osama) are a step up from SEALs, who are the best SF if not Delta. If SAS doesn't have another advanced group like the SEALs do with DevGru, I'd say the DevGru is equal if not better
@kromed01 the yanks are by far better equiped (than anyone) but the british are the fittest without a doubt,ask any yank who has served with the british they will tell you straight,also they are better disaplined when it comes to putting rounds down range(thats really cos the yanks have a endless amount and our poor fuckers have to count rounds) and imo the fittest have to be the royal marine commandos,they are fucking robots that go on n on !!!!
@Arodblade what about when we found you?? and Russia saved us not America and it was America choice to go in we didnt make you. and your shit ships didnt even work we made a deal that if you send 50 ships then you get 99 years of placing army bases in British country. only 9 worked !
Try researching the Afghanistan war America and Britain went into Afghanistan together after the September the 11Th attacks however Britain went into Afghanistan to do its own mission which was Operation Herrick
@Spuddfluff To be fair I wouldn't liken Spetsnaz to the SAS and I think that's down to traininig and budgets. The SAS have NO expense spared at all in their training and I don't think Russia could maintain an SF like that. Plus SAS are more intelectual whereas Snaz are a bit like a hammer - they will smash but that's about the only level you get. SAS boyos are called soldier spies because of the VERY unconventional nature of some of their work..they're still fucking hard as nails though!! lol
@di55illu5ioned EVERY unit has spending restrictions and budgets to work to. After all the Army has to justify expense to the MOD. However, if the SAS deemed that budget was needed for a reasonalbe request for any thing they would get it - of that I can cast iron 100% guarantee you. If they need it and want it - they get it. Please... take it from me
@bakerj02 Define reasonable? They still have to put in a Requisition Order and justify it to their C.O. which follows the same route up the ladder to the top. The only difference is that the COBR deals with SF funding so it's not available in the geen army expense breakdowns. But in these times, money is money, and the SF find themselves just as much the victim of our economy as all others. Many training ops are being scrubbed and a "make do" equivalent is thought up.
@di55illu5ioned How do you define reasonable apart from a dictionary entry? The money spent on aspects of soldiering within UKSF MOST certainly do fall within 'green' army as you call it. The regiments we refer to as SF are ALL army or navy or RAF regiments and so the budgets fall within standard MOD expenditure for HM Forces - it may not be openly known or admitted how much though. Some costs are picked up by HM gvt departments elsewhere and other outside of the UK - hope this helps
@bakerj02 Not really. The Regiment comes under Directorate Special Forces U.K.(DSFUK) who come under the Cabinet Office Briefing Room. There are even "private" funds available at a pinch.
If funding was under Green Army it would be under the scrutiny of anyone who wanted to look when the breakdowns are published every year.
@di55illu5ioned Directorate of SF is a COMMAND structure not a budgeting body and as such as NO input in appropriation of funding. It may submit budgetary proposals though. Why don't you go and see what 'actual' breakdowns you can get. I'm talking about informative and quantative reports.
@bakerj02 Anyone can get hold of the tri-service budget breakdowns(Available on their websites even). DSFUK is not just a command structure. And unless you're part of COBR or SAS Head-shed, you dont know what is going on.
But I forgot, I should "take it from you..... nudge nudge"
@di55illu5ioned Ok. Tell you what you go and get some really useful information and then PM it to me. How's that? However, you will have to accept that directorate is a command structure and that SAS head shed( as it's known in boy's books and comics) IS the office of the director....why are you nudging me??
@bakerj02 I meant COBR. and I'm not the one saying "Please take it from me" so I'll turn the tables, tell me why I should?And If you include All the Former SAS members who have written about thier experiences in with comic's and boys books, then Hierarchy it is
yourcompletly wrong.Theres only 1,800 SEALs right now thats not very many and thats regular SEALs our elite CTunits DEVGRU(SEAL team 6)and DELTA only have 200-250 shooters.And you obviously know very little about SEALtraining BUD/S its equally physical and mental why a true winter BUD/S class will have a 95%drop rate why there were 3 winter BUD/S class's that graduated no one.DOn't talk about stuff you know very little about.I respect SAS very much.And Russia doesn have much of a militaryanymore
@Spuddfluff That is actually not true Navy SEALs are not just soldiers with a fancy badge... They do the job that no one wants they are those guys that if you tell that they'll lose they won't believe you. They are commandos and they are smaller than the Spetsnaz and the Spetsnaz have tanks the SEALs don't thats why they have demolition teams and what not. What you say about them is all wrong, do the Spetsnaz or SAS operate in water... No and BUD/s is so mentally demanding look up some videos.
@FutureSEAL1231 You are correct there our SAS dont operate in water usually. For anyone who is interested look up our Special Boat Squadron (SBS) the Royal Navy version of the SAS in effect. Their a lot more secretive and are fewer in number, they also recieve all their water based stuff on top of the same training as the SAS. SAS are a few hundred but the SBS are no more than 120 at any given time. They train US Navy SEAL teams quite often.
@di55illu5ioned Actually i stated they dont 'usually'. SBS have priority over certain tasks. Likewise both SAS and SBS work together in the same capacity on many operations. SAS and SBS teams have worked together on exclusively land based operations as well as exclusively water based operations. Yes lots is classified but theres plenty of documented, acknowledged, operations in which this has been the case. Do not be so quick to shoot people down. There are no experts here.
@CoffeeFiend1 I "Shot it down" because a boat troop is as part of the Reg as Air or mountain.
So many people yak on about the SBS not thinking about any of the Boat Troops that train just as hard as the rest of the regiment, but when people think of the regiment, they just think of the glory boys like Mitchell and Armstrong!
@di55illu5ioned I would never dishonour the members of the SAS or SBS. I also never stated that our boat troop were any less as capable and important as the other regiments soliders. Our SAS are the most feared soliders in the world. The SBS on the other hand are relatively unknown to most people, something that a few would consider to be a very large advantage. The SAS boat troop and SBS operators have, and always will be, treated with equal respect. We owe them that much.
@FutureSEAL1231 Erm....The SAS DO operate in water, every Sabre Squadron has a BOAT TROOP specialising in water-borne insertion, underwater dems, combat diving etc.
David Stirling first came up with the idea of small groups of commando teams able to operate in all theatres able to switch from one to the other without long acclimatisation periods. Able to insert by air,sea or land. In the 60's, the SAS was going from wet, humid jungles of Borneo to dry, arid, high altitude mountains in Yemen.
@UberR3D You are such a dumb ass. Army rangers are much below the SEALs. Army rangers are conventional warfighters, better training than normal grunts and have some specialty training. SEALs are called Special Operation Forces for a reason kid. SHIIIT the dumbasses these days.
@UberR3D Put a ranger thru BUD/s and see how he does. I GUARENTEE most will not make it. No disrespect to the rangers, or any other branch or division, I respect them all obviously. But when you say that rangers are almost like SEALs, that's not true. Like I said, SEALs are special forces for a reason... rangers are not.
@SpuddfluffSimply not true. "Soldiers with a fancy badge" is garbage. Honestly though, we're just going on "badass" factor here. You've never been in a SEAL team, or in the SAS. None of us know what the fuck we are talking about, except that the seals atrition rate is almost the same as the SAS'. That is a fact. Truth is any SEAL is still more man than you.
The Navy SEALs, SAS, and Spetsnaz are all on the same level of physical and psychological training. However they all have different types of training. You are an ignorant fuck if you think one is better than the other. Try joining one of them and then you can talk like you know.
Im sorry but your comment is just not accurate. SEALs are not soldiers. They are everything. SEALs not only have to go through physical hell, but they are some of the most psychologically sound operators in the world. There are not a lot of SEALs around, its so damn hard most wash out of training.
So as far as "America only focuses on numbers and physical conditioning". wtf? stop making up things to support your position.
@corporateCoffee Well said, but remember - these SF videos are the domain of 14 year old kids who fantasise about military life and have no idea what service is about.
Im not saying the SAS arent badass (my pops worked with 'em, he told me about them and they definitely are) and Im not trying to detract from their prestige, but you are not correct with what you said about the SEALs. Its just plain false.
They are not even the same type of troops, SAS are some sort of super commando trained in everything who can do anything the navy seals are just commandos.
@Spuddfluff You have no idea what you talking about, the US has been an unconventional fighting force since the 1700's. The SEAL Team are actually quite similar in some aspect to the Special Air Service. And talk about Numbers, in US Joint Special Operations Command, (Soldiers who operate on the highest level in the world), there a few hundred. your DUMB DUMB DUMB. Do some research, and read some books on the topic before you talk about them.
@Spuddfluff You comment is full of ignorance. SEALs are not Soldiers they are Sailors. They are extremely high skilled Special Operations units that excell in special operations on the land and at sea and in the air. To say that they only concentrate on numbers is ignorant also. The average SEAL Platoon is made up of 18-20 SEALs who operate by themselves. As for training.... it is recognized as one of the hardest in world. Each candidate Sailor must pass the basic assessment and pass Basic
@Spuddfluff Under Water Demolition (BUD/S) which lasts for 25 weeks and pushes the Sailor to the limits physically, emotionally and mentally. This is after 4-12 weeks in the Naval Special Warfare Preparatory School and 3 weeks of Indoctrination. Following this if the Sailor passes he must attend SEAL Qualification Training (SQT) for 18 weeks which builds combat skills, air ops, cold weather, SERE, combat swimmer, comms, land combat, combatives and so on. All Sailors who enter with medical
@Spuddfluff backgrounds (Hospital Corpsman) must attend the 26 week Special Operations Combat Medic course. Following all this SEALs are assigned to Platoons and undergo a further 18 months advanced training before being deployed..... this advanced training continues before every deployment making SEALs some of the most highly skilled and motivated warriors on the face of the planet. Sure the SAS is outstanding; but dont shit ur ignorance out on the SEALs which u clearly know nothing about.
Well not exactly. I mean if you miss the first shot the chances of missing the 2nd are pretty high. But always remember you will ALWAYS miss the shot you don't take =)
Nobody disliked the video because they are affraid the SAS will hunt them down.

The Americans will never compare to the SAS. The US make mistake after mistake but every time make up some dramatic story to show people they are the best.
I put in a recent post, the Americans have the highest friendly fire rate going.
Lets compare:
Sierra Leone, British troops were taken hostage. SAS and PARAS went in for the Rescue, 1 soldier died. The SAS in the Iranian Embassy. SAS in the prison rescue and so on..
Us Rescue: The recent kidnapped brit woman, black hawk down and so on.

I love it how they say it doesn't matter because were allies but if it were other way round they wouldn't let us forget about it, especially in world war 2 when they say they saved our ass. But I do agree it doesn't matter but they should of said that in the first place until realising who is the daddy of war fare and that's the U.K.

it doesnt matter whos better anyway, they are allies, they have fought along aside each other for years, so it doesnt matter because if they have a joint operation, the other guys will be dead in seconds. so stop having rage wars at each other for nothing.

That's BULLSHIT (1) most soldiers that come into the SAS come from other army British or commonwealth REGIMENTS (2) the others come from nothing more then their experience as such the, is what it is......in other words to be in the S.A.S you either got to be a great medic or telecommunicater (i.e be able to speak more then three languages etc..) OR BE DAMN GOOD IN KILLING for ones own country..... so FUCK your liberal minded folk ....cause when the shITE comes, guess what you only got S.A.S...

Here is the order I think the best special forces should be. Remember all nations have army spec forces and naval spec forces. SAS and SBS, delta force and navy seals, spetsnaz (trained in both), polish GROM (not well known but are very good), Israel commandos (very good force)
EllisFitz1995 1 year ago
Ok, let me explain. The SAS were the first spec force in the history of man, created in 1941 in WW2 and since then, other nations crated their own spec forces, most of them trained and based on the SAS, including delta force, navy seals, Dutch, norwiegen spec forces, SAS is and will always be the elite, the best of the best. But if had to choose between the spetsnaz and seals I would go for seals because their training is tough and have actually killed spetsnaz in the past, it was a cold war mi

If SEALs is so good then why do loads of people know them?
SAS is so shit hot thats its got to be a secret who is in it for atleast 9 years. The only person I ever knew in the SAS so far is my uncle, they are such good killers that they can get fucked up and only know about killing someone, I once read that this women had to throw something at the Ex-SAS husband otherwise he would smash her nose in and probably break it, Thats how good SAS are, They have reactions in their sleep.

The British Armed Forces and the U.S. Armed Forces are not enemies against each other, so what does it matter if one is better than the other? They aren't going to fight each other, are they? They have the same enemy and the same cause, and are allied if anything.

The SAS are known by and feared by every terrorist group and enemy of the western allies worldwide. Once the SAS go in, it's game over. Sure all the Special Forces are the best at what they do and respected.
But they're all based on and many are trained by the SAS. If it came down to the numbers of troops in SF units the US would win and they are very good at what they do, but the SAS are a small select few and are seen worldwide by many as the best. I agree..but I'm English so could be bias

Reading some of these comments is really a hoot. Do people not realize that SAS, SEALS, Special Forces, JTF2, GSG9, etc all train using the same techniques. They are all a part of NATO and thus they work together. They send members of their units to cross train with others. They share knowledge to make each other stronger. Each of these elite units specializes in something different and thus is the best in the world at what they do.

Anyone who thinks they can definitively say that 'SAS is better' or 'SEALS are better' is a retard. First of all, you aren't a member of the special operations community, so you have no idea who is regarded as the best within said community. Secondly, they are both professionals of the highest caliber in their field of operations. They both deserve a great deal of respect for the work they do, and they both would fuck you up something fierce.

The navy seals are just soldiers with a fancy badge, they don't really get on the same level as the SAS and Spetsnaz, mainly because America only focuses on numbers and physical conditioning instead of mental and psychological conditioning as well.

No they are soldiers who have proved them selves in battle but the point about the american military is that it has a very large army for a fully industrialised country.

@wr1swd84 I will admit that America's military is great not only because of training but because of numbers so other elite teams like the SAS for example have to be trained but harder because numbers are smaller. the way i see it though, America's Navy SEALS are basically the American version of the SAS. not in all ways though. SEALS are better than the SAS in some things and SAS are better then the SEALS in other ways. Both work in smaller teams though

@loughbraadam The SAS have 4 troops to each squadron, Air (haho halo etc), Boat, Mobility and Mountain.
Boat troops do all the same hi-spec training that the SBS do but the SBS are larger in numbers for larger scale jobs.
So the SAS do have a water specialist contingent. The reason not much is heard of them is because the SAS first and foremost is an intelligence gathering group, Boat Troops specialising in clandestine water insertion of men and materiel for intel gathering/recon.

Please... take it from me

@bakerj02 Define reasonable? They still have to put in a Requisition Order and justify it to their C.O. which follows the same route up the ladder to the top. The only difference is that the COBR deals with SF funding so it's not available in the geen army expense breakdowns. But in these times, money is money, and the SF find themselves just as much the victim of our economy as all others. Many training ops are being scrubbed and a "make do" equivalent is thought up.
Why "take it from you"?

@di55illu5ioned How do you define reasonable apart from a dictionary entry? The money spent on aspects of soldiering within UKSF MOST certainly do fall within 'green' army as you call it.

Some costs are picked up by HM gvt departments elsewhere and other outside of the UK - hope this helps

@FutureSEAL1231 You are correct there our SAS dont operate in water usually. For anyone who is interested look up our Special Boat Squadron (SBS) the Royal Navy version of the SAS in effect. Their a lot more secretive and are fewer in number, they also recieve all their water based stuff on top of the same training as the SAS. SAS are a few hundred but the SBS are no more than 120 at any given time. They train US Navy SEAL teams quite often.

@CoffeeFiend1 If they don't operate in water, why have specialist BOAT TROOPS, trained in all the same aspects as SBS.
Only difference is the numbers, as the SBS can use thier high numbers to effect on larger jobs. Everyone seems to forget the Boat Troops.
di55illu5ioned 1 year ago
@di55illu5ioned Actually i stated they dont 'usually'. SBS have priority over certain tasks. Likewise both SAS and SBS work together in the same capacity on many operations. SAS and SBS teams have worked together on exclusively land based operations as well as exclusively water based operations. Yes lots is classified but theres plenty of documented, acknowledged, operations in which this has been the case. Do not be so quick to shoot people down. There are no experts here.
CoffeeFiend1 1 year ago
@CoffeeFiend1 I "Shot it down" because a boat troop is as part of the Reg as Air or mountain.
So many people yak on about the SBS not thinking about any of the Boat Troops that train just as hard as the rest of the regiment, but when people think of the regiment, they just think of the glory boys like Mitchell and Armstrong!
di55illu5ioned 1 year ago
@di55illu5ioned I would never dishonour the members of the SAS or SBS. I also never stated that our boat troop were any less as capable and important as the other regiments soliders. Our SAS are the most feared soliders in the world. The SBS on the other hand are relatively unknown to most people, something that a few would consider to be a very large advantage. The SAS boat troop and SBS operators have, and always will be, treated with equal respect. We owe them that much.
CoffeeFiend1 1 year ago
@FutureSEAL1231 Erm....The SAS DO operate in water, every Sabre Squadron has a BOAT TROOP specialising in water-borne insertion, underwater dems, combat diving etc.
David Stirling first came up with the idea of small groups of commando teams able to operate in all theatres able to switch from one to the other without long acclimatisation periods. Able to insert by air,sea or land. In the 60's, the SAS was going from wet, humid jungles of Borneo to dry, arid, high altitude mountains in Yemen.

@UberR3D You are such a dumb ass. Army rangers are much below the SEALs. Army rangers are conventional warfighters, better training than normal grunts and have some specialty training. SEALs are called Special Operation Forces for a reason kid. SHIIIT the dumbasses these days.

@UberR3D Put a ranger thru BUD/s and see how he does. I GUARENTEE most will not make it. No disrespect to the rangers, or any other branch or division, I respect them all obviously. But when you say that rangers are almost like SEALs, that's not true. Like I said, SEALs are special forces for a reason... rangers are not.

@Corzizzle Yeah, i do understand your point should of thought more before posting oh well...

@SpuddfluffSimply not true. "Soldiers with a fancy badge" is garbage. Honestly though, we're just going on "badass" factor here. You've never been in a SEAL team, or in the SAS. None of us know what the fuck we are talking about, except that the seals atrition rate is almost the same as the SAS'. That is a fact. Truth is any SEAL is still more man than you.

@Spuddfluff Where is your source? Your ass?
The Navy SEALs, SAS, and Spetsnaz are all on the same level of physical and psychological training. However they all have different types of training. You are an ignorant fuck if you think one is better than the other. Try joining one of them and then you can talk like you know.

@Spuddfluff
Im sorry but your comment is just not accurate. SEALs are not soldiers. They are everything. SEALs not only have to go through physical hell, but they are some of the most psychologically sound operators in the world. There are not a lot of SEALs around, its so damn hard most wash out of training.
So as far as "America only focuses on numbers and physical conditioning". wtf? stop making up things to support your position.
How do I know this?
My father was a SEAL for 27 years...

Im not saying the SAS arent badass (my pops worked with 'em, he told me about them and they definitely are) and Im not trying to detract from their prestige, but you are not correct with what you said about the SEALs. Its just plain false.

Except no.
They are not even the same type of troops, SAS are some sort of super commando trained in everything who can do anything the navy seals are just commandos.
Spuddfluff 1 year ago
@Spuddfluff SEAL Team is a Special Forces unit. They are above commandos. And no, SAS can not do everything.

@Spuddfluff You have no idea what you talking about, the US has been an unconventional fighting force since the 1700's. The SEAL Team are actually quite similar in some aspect to the Special Air Service. And talk about Numbers, in US Joint Special Operations Command, (Soldiers who operate on the highest level in the world), there a few hundred. your DUMB DUMB DUMB. Do some research, and read some books on the topic before you talk about them.

The navy seals where started in 1942, the US didn't even have a real unified army back in the 1700's

@Spuddfluff You comment is full of ignorance. SEALs are not Soldiers they are Sailors. They are extremely high skilled Special Operations units that excell in special operations on the land and at sea and in the air. To say that they only concentrate on numbers is ignorant also. The average SEAL Platoon is made up of 18-20 SEALs who operate by themselves. As for training.... it is recognized as one of the hardest in world. Each candidate Sailor must pass the basic assessment and pass Basic

@Spuddfluff Under Water Demolition (BUD/S) which lasts for 25 weeks and pushes the Sailor to the limits physically, emotionally and mentally. This is after 4-12 weeks in the Naval Special Warfare Preparatory School and 3 weeks of Indoctrination. Following this if the Sailor passes he must attend SEAL Qualification Training (SQT) for 18 weeks which builds combat skills, air ops, cold weather, SERE, combat swimmer, comms, land combat, combatives and so on. All Sailors who enter with medical

@Spuddfluff backgrounds (Hospital Corpsman) must attend the 26 week Special Operations Combat Medic course. Following all this SEALs are assigned to Platoons and undergo a further 18 months advanced training before being deployed..... this advanced training continues before every deployment making SEALs some of the most highly skilled and motivated warriors on the face of the planet. Sure the SAS is outstanding; but dont shit ur ignorance out on the SEALs which u clearly know nothing about.

someone i talked to said he does not like the double tap because if you miss the first shot, the second shot will also miss.
XIPM3 2 years ago
Well not exactly. I mean if you miss the first shot the chances of missing the 2nd are pretty high. But always remember you will ALWAYS miss the shot you don't take =)

there are other ways of engaging a hostile besides double tap.
