JTF2 kinda enter in this category, except for the part that we all know the name of their group, we know close to no shit about their feats and accomplishment.
There are bad ass mother fuckers walking around out there!... And we would never know they are bad ass mother fuckers... Because they adapt and blend in to the environment they are in... period!
i heard a good one once........ "a seal, a ranger and delta operator walk into a bar. the delta orders a shot of whisky, the ranger a beer, and the seal writes a book about it."
Being a Canadian, I can tell you truthfully that the public knows virtually nothing about JTF2. They don't publicize anything they do. Occasionally something shows up in the news, as is inevitable, but the US Navy SEALS get written about in the media _a lot_ more than JTF2. It is known where their base is in Ontario, or rather where some of them work out of, but virtually nothing else is known here in Canada. I have read that the American special forces like working with them because they know what they are doing, and with that you have basically exhausted my knowledge of them. And I think JTF2 likes to keep it that way.
The best special force in the world is ME, sneaking from the bedroom to the living room where the Playstation is, after putting my wife to sleep and successfully play an hour and coming back to bed. She didn’t realise this for months. If I fail, remember me I died for a purpose, brothers.
Yeah, people here talking about how the SAS would kick Delta's ass, or how the SEAL Teams eat SAS for breakfast. All I know is, if any of them came to my house to arrest me, I'd be in jail before I even knew what was happening. And if they came in to kill me, I'd be dead without even knowing what the hell happened, nor who the hell killed me. They're all absolute legends, and that's all that matters, I respect them all, I wouldn't even dream of being nearly as badass as them!
@@paulomarreiros00 I'm pretty sure everyone in that field says British SAS are the best. No one had ever heard from them until the 1980 Iranian Embassy Seige.
@@HP-le3no thing is, it doesn't really matter does it? They do what they're supposed to do, accomplish their mission the way they're supposed to. I'm from Portugal, the most special of our special forces are the DAE, I guess it could be translated to Special Actions Detachment. And every special force that has trained with them, has gone on record, on how regardless of the outdated equipment, they can do the exact same job as them. This to say, it doesn't matter, at least to me, who the best is. It only matters to me, that these guys kill the fucking terrorists, and don't come for me, I want to live a little bit longer!
All tier one units practice with live ammo, including room clearance with live personnel acting as hostages. It's to build trust with one another and to demonstrate that they can kill all the bad guys and none of the good guys. It's extreme, and is only done after repeated demonstration of their competence, but is necessary. I would want to be with guys that can do the mission under that pressure as well, in practice before going after hostiles. It probably also helps weeds out the guys who can't make their headshots before the live people are in the room due to the pressure of knowing the requirements in the end. I'm simply recounting what I've read (Rob O'Neil, Pete Blaber, Tom Satterly and many, many other first hand accounts).
Where is the Australian SAS in this list.? In Gulf War 2, the Alliance specifically chose 150 of the Aussie SAS to be the first line to infiltrate/destroy key targets in Iraq prior to the other major forces going in....100% success on the mission, Zero casualties. There was a good reason they sent in the Aussie SAS.....knew they would get the job done.
That's because you live in a room with nice, soft walls, and very friendly people, dressed in white clothing, bringing your medicine every day? (just kidding)
At the very end of the GIGN selection and training, the recruits have to pass the « Trust shot » (« Tir de confiance » in French). Their instructors basically stand in front of the recruit at 25 meters with a reinforced body armor and a target on the center of it, the recruit has to hit the target with a revolver. It basically shows the instructor saying « We’re at the end of training, to me I trained you right. I now trust you. Prove me I’m right. ». Every single GIGN operators passed this « Trust shot ». It can seem a little odd, but that’s how they do the thing and it proved its efficiency for decades now.
@@fredrikandre2860 Yeah I've seen those guys instruct GSOF trainees for advanced winter warfare. They're something else in that area. Very professional. Heard only positive things.
@I like Potatoes Okay ... but my comment was referring to Norwegians training with the military of the *country* ( not state ) of Georgia. I mean we also have mountain warfare specialists, who train locals and foreigners ( including Americans btw ). But that doesn't mean we don't consult and appreciate the expertise of foreign militaries on the same areas, especialy when they bring more advanced knowledge to the table.
The most elite special forces in the world are good military cooks because you can't find them you can't see them and no one ever talks about them. ( just kidding master chefs)
Who called the cook a cunt? who called the cunt a cook? Trained in the art of ladle combat, taste removal, and taking the finest ingredients, and creating a brown flavorless stodge Andy Cap Commandos (Army Catering Corps) disbanded because of the invention of ration packs and do it yourself.
In 1992 a group of terrorists took over the USS Missouri intent on stealing the ship's nuclear arsenal. They failed, however, to account for the intervention of the ship's chef.
He wasn't in the military last week, there was no way to keep track of people easily before 2000, and he said 'buddy' which means acquaintance in the military, so no reason they would stay in touch for him to find out.
Cali Joe no u can’t say that don’t make any sense these guys are on about gign operators from r6 so doc could have entered and twitch but wtf Jerry nah no ones knows a gign jerrry
Es war nie die Rede von Militär. Die anderen Länder haben einfach nicht so spezielle Polizeieinheiten^^ Warum sie jedoch die KSK nicht erwähnen weiß ich auch nicht.
@@Yasuakyy Ja aber es ergibt halt wenig Sinn Polizei Spezialeinheiten mit Militär Spezialeinheiten zu vergleichen da diese ein anderes Einsatz Spektrum vorweisen. Soweit ich weiß wird die GSG 9 nicht direkt bei Ausland Einsätzen eingesetzt, ist bestimmt schon mal vorgekommen aber das würde den KSK Überflussig machen.
@@hendrikschwarm117 In dem video geht es nicht direkt um einen vergleich. Es werden die 10 "besten" spezialkräfte genannt und zwar aus jedem Einsatzspektrum. Deutschland scheint demnach als einziges Land eine Polizeiliche Spezialeinheit zu haben, die von solcher Qualität ist.
Amazes me how rabid people are trying to defend their respected country's elite task forces. Can we just agree they are all badass, and all very capable.
The SAS are insane, imagine being tortured in training to see if you will give up secrets. It's pretty easy to spot a SAS op its normally the dude walking dragging his massive balls behind him.
GER KSK does it too. It is psychological warfare and torture combined. Trainees are being held captive in some sort of room. The 24h process was never filmed before and very very few source material is out there on it. It's made to break people and simulate a POW situation.
In a nutshell Delta is a black unit, meaning anything they do will be classified till the end of time so yes it reasonable to think they operate on the legal fringes.
These guys got nothing on my top 5 special forces units: 5. K-Mart security - evening shift 4. Mall Cops - Cafeteria unit 3. Shopping center security - lone wolves 2. The mighty TSA 1. Portland Police Bureau These are the most elite commandos in the world and so secretive that youtube wont allow you to make video on them.
"In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them....maybe you can hire The A-Team."
That scene where GROM operators stand between the targets isnt their training. The GROM tradition is that every new guy has to stand between the targets. It shows the trust that you have to your friends and that you are ready to give your life to accomplish the mission.
Margaret Thatcher and some of her colleagues went through the same thing in the SAS killing house. I don't know if they still do it as part of the VIP protection training. It again comes back to trust. Reputedly she didn't bat an eyelid, because she had complete faith in them doing their job properly, hitting the simulated hostiles, and not the VIPs standing between them.
Re: standing between targets that are being shot at: great way of showing how trust is on both sides of this practice is great... or not! What I want to know is where do the bodies go when the shooter sneezes or gets a cramps at that exact moment? The night before would be a great time to ensure your Will's are up to date😉
@@JD-7792 if operator sneezes or get a cramp during such moment, it means there was mistake during recruitment of such person. Those soldiers are meant to be perfect in such situations. Thats their craft.
@@Si74l0rd that claim was first made by Andy McNabb (or whoever really wrote the book) in Bravo Two Zero. Given that the SAS admit they are human and that their branch suffers from equipment failure like the rest of the British Armed Forces, what is the practical purpose of putting a person, much less the leader of the Nation, next to targets in a live-fire exercise ? Answer: There is no practical purpose. The benefits supposedly gained by training this way do not justify the risk of the PM or H.R.H. taking a bullet between the eyes. Margaret Thatcher may have visited the "Killing House" and observed training, but that's as close as she got to the hot end of a SAS rifle.
There are only two units that are paramount. The Israeli Sayeret and the SAS. It's not because of the tech or support. It's the individual capacity. The Sayeret can deploy deep enemy countries singly or as a unit. An example of the SAS is the incident in Kenya with that one SAS trooper on the scene. Think of those two units as the needle. The rest are just big f daggers.
US Colonel Charles Beckswith trained with the SAS in Malaysia he was so impressed by them he returned to the US and created Delta Force using their training model!
The GIGN operator shooting his buddy with a revolver is called “le tir de confiance” (French for “trust shot”). It closes the training course and is meant to seal the trust that GIGN operators have in each other. Since they often fight in very confined spaces, they have to know that their buddy’s aim is on point, hence the “trust shot”.
I think the Australian SAS should have been atleast mentioned. The Australian SAS undergo a severe selection followed by intense training. The Australian SAS have shown their capabilities in Afghanistan and Iraq aswell as various other combat zones.
They have been involved in just about every war since WW2 regardless of if Australia was directly involved. They were often there as observers in plain cloths or doing things that were never on the books. Its also hilarious some of their accidental confrontations with American forces over the years.
About the GIGN revolver: this is MR73 model. The gun was designed for them, it has been test proofed to 300 000 shot of .357 Magnum, and each gun is factory tested for accuracy. It has been in use for a long time but today it’s more a weapon for tradition. You won’t see it in operation anymore. Today you can see the MR73 like a M1 Garand or M14 for some parade units. GIGN being a police force doesn’t operate only against terrorist. GIGN speciality is to arrest people who snapped a wire, and maybe took their family hostage without killing them. They manage to arrest a lot of these guy with a single shot of .357 in the shoulder or things like that. So a lot of emphasise is put in the group on accuracy shooting. So the firing with MR73 is called “tir de confiance” or “trust shot”. This isn’t a regular training but more a ritual with a traditional weapon when they end the long training and are accepted in the group.
Both correct, a GIGN operator explained it like that in a "interview". Also the revolver is their "symbol". It's not a weapon they prefer in a firefight, they just carry it.
I just saw gun Jesus do a video of that MR73 a while back. It is a top shelf revolver. France had rather have a unique French made weapons over a proven weapon platform and they have ended up with some goofy shit because of it. This isn’t one of those but it is different. There used to be a saying in the auto industry that “the French copy no one and no one copies the French.”
For GIGN it's called, Confidence Shooting, it's like when ur a new to the squad, you can see throw this shot you can have entirely confidance on your teammates and they have enterly confidance in you
A buddy of mine told me a story about a news briefing that he attended where the reporters were asking questions about special forces. One reporter asked what the difference was between Navy SEALs and Delta Force. I don't know how true it is, but allegedly went something like this: Reporter: Can you tell us the difference between Navy SEALs and Delta Force? Correspondent: Certainly. Ask me what the Navy SEALs are. Reporter: (Confused) What are the Navy SEALs? Correspondent: Navy SEALs are the Navy's primary special operations unit for conducting small-unit operations. Now ask me about Delta Force. Reporter: OK ... what's Delta Force? Correspondent: Next question.
That sounds great if it weren't for the fact there have been numerous books and magazine articles published about Delta Force along with several television documentaries.
GSG9 is a unit of the Federal Police (Bundespolizei). The narrating lady tells bullshit. GSG 9 never killed one of their dogs but only dogs of suspects because they attacked the team. The special forces the German army is the KSK which is not mentioned here for whatever reason.
1st and last bs she missed was the president is the one that delta reports to Anyone know what plausible denial is....thats the truth . Pres. Cannot know all. He would have a stroke/ heart attack in one
French GIGN use revolvers as a side arm, typically MR73. With hollow points, DEVGRU6, used to but I'm unsure if they still do. There's high power loads, so when they need to neutralise, 100% certain, it's not a bad choice, even though it doesn't have the ammo of your Glocks 17 19 etcThe French marksman course is as tough as it gets, groundbreaking. With being a colonial power once, it has potential hostage scenarios, pan-global. The cons of using a revolver for the GIGN was the double action but Manhurin resolved that by offering a single action which allowed rapid fire while still achieving match precision. Hence why it was selected as main handgun of the GIGN. It was in the 70s and remained through the age as it proved its efficiency in some emblematic interventions of the GIGN.
Seal doesn’t stand for anything. The US gov trains arctic animals for special warfare. The human “SEALs” you know are just the real seal’s role models/trainers.
Knew a special forces unit commander in the States when I lived there. He had nothing but good things to say about the SAS/SBS having been trained by them. He thought USSF training was hard until he came to Britain.
The fact that the GIGN shoots a friend at the end of the training is called a « Trust shot », it’s a huge tradition. It represents the trust that you must have in your partner. No one has ever died from it, since the GIGN member are expert in shooting and they must have perfect eyes to be a part of it
@@TheGingerburger GIPN is the police eauivalent of the GIGN, the P stands for Police, and the G for Gendarmerie (which is part of the Army, just like the Sapeurs Pompiers de Paris, our firefighters). And the term Special Forces includes a large number of types of forces and thus includes both GIPN, GIGN, some secret service branches, some military branches and more. It's just a generic term... ;)
They all do the same stuff. The biggest difference is the funding that goes into these units. Obviously the United States has the best military, deepest pockets, and best defense and aerospace companies (Lockheed, Raytheon, etc) in the world to supply the tech. It doesn't matter tha SAS created the Deltas it's about the technology, training;etc.
MY BROTHER USED TO WORK US BORDER PATROL. ONE OF THE GUYS HE WORKED WITH WAS A COMMAND SARGEANT MAJOR IN DELTA. HE WENT WITH COLONEL BECKWITH TO THE UK TO YRAIN WITH THE SAS!!
The shooting with a revolver on a teammate is called "Confidence shooting" it is an obligatory passage for all the operators of the GIGN once officially member of the group
No such thing as the best unless you have a criteria. They're all badass. I will say the UK SAS are at least one of the best. There's a video of a single SAS soldier in jeans on holiday taking over a hostage scene in Africa, he's running into a building by himself to take out the terrorists - they're pretty fearless.
@@karizma8175 You are wrong too! His name is Christian Craighead, at the time he was SERVING IN 22 SAS! They were there training the Kenyan forces in counter-terrorist roles. He was off duty, not a private operator.
Au GIGN, à la fin de leur formation, les stagiaires font une démonstration de leurs acquis, juste avant la remise officielle de leur brevet. La dernière étape est hautement symbolique : devant tous les cadres du GIGN, chaque stagiaire effectue un tir de confiance. Epreuve finale de la formation, qui consiste à tirer à balles réelles sur une cible en argile à quinze mètres, placée sur un gilet pare-balles porté par un camarade. Cela valide, le sang-froid, la précision et le calme du futur opérateur. Cela soude également le groupe qui reçoit la nouvelle recrue.
6:40 The moment the guy is shooting his friend is called the “trust shot”, every man get trough this in the initial training. The idea is to strengthen the trust you have with your teammates by giving them the responsibility to shoot you at the right spot and then it’s your turn to shoot the guy in return. I don’t think it’s “dumb” like you said. This revolver is also very symbolic for the GIGN, it’s the one they used on the field when the unit was created but they surely don’t use it anymore today.
@@jbg7163 No, most recruits that are chosen for GIGN have years of experience. It's not just something you "sign up" for. You're required to be active duty Gendarme and pass through very strict selections. Also, they are not military. They're a police group.
@@DarkPhantomZX gendarmerie is an army group. It obey to the ministry of the army (now minsitry of interior) and the president. NOT the national police who obey mayors and other civilian administrators
@@ereder1476 Sure they're under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the Interior but they're still primarily a police force though. They're technically a military group but France's police force is far different than most countries as it's National Police is primarily civilian operated unlike the National Gendarmerie. Which is operated by the military and GIGN is a child agency of that. Yes, technically a military organization but they work closely with the National Police. National Gendarmerie tends to operate in rural areas more so than the other police force
News media: "Canadian JTF 2 sniper, in Iraq, has longest confirmed kill of 3450 meters" Canadian Opposition Government: "WTF, we've got troops in Iraq?????"
It seemed like he wasn’t happy with the notion that Canada may have more confirmed kills then America. Even if it is false information it still made me chuckle.
The GIGN is actually known for having members carrying revolvers, one of the only units using it I believe. And they shoot each others as part of a trust test apparently.
@Duke Of Wellington What a stupid reply, they have to trust that their comrades won't shit themselves if they have to take a close shot. In the Gulf war, 25% of American casualties were friendly fire.
The real reason they shoot at eachother is to prepare the solider being shot at to not cower during a real gunfight. Still think it’s pretty pointless if you know they aren’t aiming at you then what’s the point.
A good mate from England is a Green Beret / Commando which is equivalent to a Navy Seal said to me that the Aussie SAS, Polish, and Israel Special Ops were all scary as hell..
Why? SEALS are way behind Delta or Green Berets. They come to iut schools and the only reason they got the Bin Laden raid was a navy admiral was in charge of the region. Obama blabbed and the media makes them out to be so good. Ranger Regt kills way more High value targets than any other unit in the world. All the movies are making the Seals great but only due to the Delta or Rangers never publicizing or taking credit
Agreed, I think the reason PJs and SF didn’t make the list is because this is more of a direct action unit top 10 list, otherwise PJs have to be number 1.
Hahaha, I've heard this before, and I've never heard any of my buddies disagree! I wish I would've heard of these guys before I joined, I could've been munching steaks and crab legs in "dining facilities" instead of pouring ice cream on tiny cheesecake slices in a mess hall.
An interesting difference between SEAL training and SAS/SBS is that the latter do not get shouted and yelled at. They are in fact left pretty much alone in that respect. First and foremost the are expected to motivate themselves and possess a hardened will to win.
@@Prometheus7272 If anyone can beat your big two and our uk big two they are going to have to be good. Ps true about delta, but in reality they all are secretive.
Worldwide we actually talk a lot about the GIGN, but we should also remember the French Green Berets. These 177 guys were the only Frenchmen to land in Normandy on D-Day alongside the Brits, Canadians and fellow Americans. They are the French frogmen, originally trained by Scottish SAS that’s why their berets is worn the British way and not the French way. To this day, their selection course is known as one the toughest of the French Military.
Precisely Commando Hubert CTLO and Dgse seals in Kelern.... They are counter terrorism and hostage free capable, haho halo jumpers, seals, and some are medics, snipers, submarine pilots, radio, démolition, mountain experts.... For me, the best in the world are obviously seals wherever they come from...
yum yum The French Green berets are also known as Commandos Marines. You have different unit that are Commandos Marines, such has Commando Hubert, Commando Jaubert, Commando Kieffer, et cetera. The DGSE ( Direction Générale des Services Extérieur) is the French CIA and NSA combined, their Special Forces are known as the Service Action : these guys are mostly recruited from the 13ème Regiment de Dragons Parachutistes, they can do lots but they’re specialized in intelligence gathering.
@@nicolastan9804 hello, je connais bien le green, j'ai été marin en vert et bleu😉 et j'ommet volontairement de parler du 1er, du 13 et des autres groupes CTLO marine parce qu'ils sont moins expérimentés que Hubert et Kelern. Ce sont leur pool de recrutement. A Kelern et Hubert tu n'as que des mes qui ont minimum 6-7 ans de fs derrière eux. Au 1er et au 13 t'as des mecs de 18 ans. Et à Lorient tu as même des mousses en filière fusco qui doivent attendre 18 ans pour faire leur première mission ops.

Yeah but those techniques are fucking useless in combat Why do you need to know how to backflip and throw a hatchet in someone’s face at the same time?
I’m a British Army Veteran of 24 years proud & Exemplary Service. I have had the enormous honour of seeing some great NATO allies’ military personnel. You may think I’m just being patriotic, but the SAS is unparalleled and widely considered to be the first, most copied and the greatest among elite military units.
Plenty of these " special forces " operators wouldn't make the selection course of the South African Defense Force's , Reconnaisance Commando , from 1969 - 1994 , only 600 candidates past the selection course from '69 - '94 . Books about the unit , The Silent War by Peter Stiff , We fear naught but God by Paul Els , Recce by Koos Stadler . You can listen on youtube , legacy conversations , interviews with them .
this is no honest reperesentation of the SAS, they are trained in all warfare, 4 troops, air, jungle, mountain, boat, then the counter terrorist side, which is rotated, they wrote the book, most special forces including delta are based on them, seals are more SBS, there is no comparison here. Delta force is diectly dirived from the SAS, the SAS have been fighting secret wars for 60 years lol, and no mention of the 6 may 1980, which put the SAS into the spotlight...they are the daddies. the benchmark since 1941, they take from all aspects of the british military, raf, navy, army, they are legends..and typically an American produced video.. mr marine do yourown reserch please lol.
There is something I fundamentally do not understand about the statement "Most special forces learned from the sas, therefore they're number 1 on the list." How are they the best anymore if everyone copies their methods and they have taught their allies their methods? Multiple countries could now be building upon those foundations that the SAS might have set in stone, competing against one another and innovating new methods in the process to advance in warfare. The Spartans were the best at one point in history, but were bested by those who built upon their foundational principals and tactics to further engineer more effective methods of combat aka (The Macedonians.) Militaries and soldiers throughout history have been doing that the whole way through till now. Just because one entity builds the foundation, it does not entitle them to being the best once someone takes their findings and further builds upon them. Thats how warfare advances, by constantly finding new ways to do things. I think in todays age, most of the "best" special forces are pretty well all around equal. In terms of skillsets, you can only measure the man himself. But I do have a suspicion, that we haven't been given the names of the task forces, who truly would be considered the elite of the elite. There are already documents of their being such task units online.
@@zealandsword9557 first of all I'd like to point out that the Athenians finished off the Spartans because they didn't have naval ships and actually get blown up because of pop culture. Spartans weren't all that. Secondly the SAS wrote the book on dirty warfare but if you think they haven't developed and learned after over 70 years of operations your sorely mistaken. They still send soldiers to train other special forces including delta force and seals. If SAS weren't the best then we'd be copying other nations not them copying us.
@@charliealder3522 We're talking about the fundamental tactics of warfare here not how Sparta had fallen. The case in point here was that the spartans had mastered a form of warfare utilizing the phalanx form and the Macedonians improved on and beat them with their own modified version of the phalanx. #2 I do believe the SAS have indefinitely improved their tactics over 70 years of being in motion, but again, that beckons the question, wouldn't most of the other countries who have learned from them, be making strategic improvements, innovations and advancements on those principals just as the SAS are? Perhaps the States or Canada or any other allied country at this point in time, houses an extraordinary mind making a breakthrough in modern warfare tactics by using the original formula and is changing the game as we speak, just by simply building on what the SAS have developed. That's how warfare works and is why there hasn't been one sole specific country to carry "The best" mantle throughout history.
He was commentating on someone else's video so if any research was wrong it was their mistake not his and I felt he was pretty fair to all the groups and didn't really show a bias to his fellow countrymen.
When it's anyone but the seals. "There doing it wrong they capture the terrorist alive and use him for intel" When it's the seals. "I hope that they were wrong and didn't kill the terrorist but capture him for intel." Seems a bit hypocritical wouldn't you say?
Sounds strange at first but if they're good at it then what a bonus since you can get a revolver anywhere so easily... small, light and easy to reload.
Clint Eastwood is the most elite...He served during the wild west, the civil war, world war 2, as well as 1970's San Francisco. You ever watch the Gauntlet? Plus he was getting just about all the tail back then.
@@nickfinns8162 Its an impossible thing to compare because it depends on so many factors. As a normal conscripted soldiers in Norway we beat the British SAS at snowy winter operation in the mountains. Dont think we would have done it in the dessert or in the jungle or in the summertime. So being most elite is a bit childish concept and shows lack or real knowledge of the military.
@@korsveien the concept of being the best has been around for millennia, and the facts are that there are military forces that are overall better trained in overall combat making them more elite than others. A common military comparison in America is the Marine Corps to the Army Rangers. They are extremely similar but in the end, the Rangers are more elite due to higher physical standards and more training. The reason I said the Seals are not the most elite is that while they operate on land, air, and sea their training has more emphasis on the sea. So why is it so wrong to suggest that a certain group of people are better than others at special operations?
Those Russian soldiers are displaying martial arts training, it’s a training to develop abdominal muscles and learn how to breathe. I taught my students how to use this training for years and it helps them recover from shots to the abdomen
Similar to the Malaysian (I think) SF snipers that test with their spotter taking turns holding balloons by their head or body and the other has to snipe the balloon. A test of nerve and trust for them both
@@DawgBreff Nope. You guys don't understand. That's exactly how they'd operate when door kicking and shooting inside a room with a hostage inside. The hostage rescue team with be shooting at lines that are inches from their teammates.
He wrong about the "BS, everyone's in shape at BUDs training." Though most are in standard physical condition, very few are SEAL ready. If what he said was true there'd be a 0% failure rate and a 100% passing rate at BUDs and SEAL training.
about GIGN, shooting at your comrade at the end of the selection is called "tir de confiance" or shoot of confidence. after that, every member of the GIGN trust you, and your ability to use your weapons. the revolver is used for the tradition of the GIGN.
@@williamhawkes7437 actually its the contrary. The revolver (in single action) is way more accurate than a semi-automatic pistol. GIGN keep using revolvers (at least in training it seems) for this reason. They historicaly use the high end Manurhin MR 73 wich is famed for its precision.
Lorenzo is that why the standard side arm for the GIGN is the Glock 17 and 19 then? Yes they have access to the revolver but in fact they rarely use it. It’s also worth pointing out that before cnc machining it was true that revolvers were more accurate.... not any more! Look up the workings of each and its easy to see why!
@@williamhawkes7437 le tir de confiance isn't a difficult shot. it was never meant to be difficult. you're shooting at your buddy there, they don't want to take risks. the point is to stress the shooter, not put the buddy in danger. the mr73 has a special place in the history of the gign that's why it's used for the shoot of confidence. you don't need to be exceptionnally accurate with your pistol for this shot of 15 meters.
@@lucasboyrie6031 you say it's not a difficult shot.... well it wouldn't be, IF there was not a human being, who is a colleague, on the receiving end... IF you were not so afraid or concerned at looking a tit.... those factors even at a paltry 15m make it a bloody challenging shot! The reasoning of the mr73 having a special place in the history of the GIGN is something I cannot comment on though, but you are probably right no doubt.

As usual, another great video, with superb commentary from your good self, Sir. Now, I apologise in advance for such a long post!! But i wanted to be reasonably thorough, but not write a whole thesis!! So: Many of the same thoughts ran through my head at almost exactly the moment that you voiced them. So here’s a brief, not-exhaustive list of some of those thoughts: 1 - I take a LOT of the info given in any video like this, with a pinch of salt. Because the narrator literally says “Their operations are totally shrouded in mystery….” But then goes on to quote (allegedly accurate) stats, like how many terror cell leaders they killed (they do that with several of the entries BTW), 2 - (This one is LONG btw) - Pakistan: I agree totally that Pakistan has at times been less than ideal as an ally. Apart from the famous lack of help during Operation Neptune Spear (that you mentioned), in 2006 there was a Huge, widely reported Terror Plot to mix liquids held in “gimmicked” soda bottles and cans, creating explosions that would have been small - but at 30,000 feet, still easily enough to blow a 747 out of the sky. It was later estimated that the plan was for up to 15 Jumbos being attacked almost at the same time. The loss of life would have been far worse that on 9/11. All the flights were planned to be from the 3 International London airports (London’s Heathrow, Gatwick & Stansted), and meant to land at various symbolic US Airports (JFK, O’Hare, etc). So a huge operation was started, to ‘smash’ the terror cell. It centred on CIA, NSA, FBI (+ others), and their UK Counterparts, MI6, MI5, GCHQ, & NCA (+ others). In summary, after months of surveillance, reconnaissance & more, of multiple planners in both London & Pakistan, the whole plot was foiled at the last minute, with dozens of arrests and terrorist charges, across London, and some in Pakistan. BUT, the ‘Chief Planner’ was in a compound in Pakistan (deja vue?). And for weeks, a Bond-style operation was done, where, by agreement with the UK, Pakistani authorities would swoop in and catch him red-handed, with computer running, phones ringing, etc. He was second only to Bin Laden in importance. And somehow, amazingly, he was tipped off at the last minute - as it turns out, from well placed sources, by a General in the PK Military, who was a second or third cousin - and he vanished into safe dwellings in the PK hills. So….. Pakistan is often a “Frien-emy”, with divided allegiances, no doubt. 3 - I think the whole idea of ‘rating’ SF units from around the world, is misguided and not of much use, in general. For example - so much of their work is classified, that, by definition, we don’t even know enough to rank them in a meaningful way. Then, different units are masters of different aspects of SF work. So to say for example that a Swedish SF unit is better because they endure super-cold conditions, with ice, snow, etc, compared with say Kenyan SF (who are also awesome, btw) is meaningless, because the Kenyans may be amazing in super-hot, jungle climates, where the Swedes would fold. It’s just impossible to make meaningful comparisons, IMO. They are all amazing troops - “the best of the best” - but in their own, niche ways. 4 - Lastly, I would say that there’s another problem with these ‘lists’: the top few spots are very predictable. But often, its because of fame, or notoriety, Hollywood - or even a political thing at play. So, EVERYONE knows that in any list like this, Delta Force, SAS, SEALs (especially Team Six), then, say, SBS, Spetznas, Mossad (or Shin Bet) are going to likely appear. For example, The SAS were almost unheard of before Operation Nimrod (the Iranian Embassy siege), and, SEAL Team Six was basically unknown to the average person, before the Bin Laden raid. But now, your (very funny!) comment at 10:50 - “We KNOW, Lady..” - says it all. But we know so little, that, IMO, these lists are more compiled by ‘pop culture’, recent-ish events, the movies, myth and mystery….. So, I only use these lists as a rough guide or for curiosity, rather than hard fact.
i would short out our comment and say. if someone wants to RATE or RANK Special forces, it should be from their past KNOWN operations. I know most are classified, but still the KNOWN operations atleast have some tangible evidence based on which ratings can be made.

@@anonymoususer1898 out-recruited and out-budgeted mean nothing, the S.A.S have always gone up against Superior numbers and won, it's not how many you have it's how skilled they are, and it doesn't matter how much your equipment costs if you don't have the expertise to use it. The US have the most powerful and expensive military in the world, HOWEVER FACT in the first + second Gulf wars and Afghan war more coalition troops were killed and injured by US forces than by the enemy ""before the US claimed the wars were over"" .
About GIGN "dumb shoot" : it's the "trust shoot" (tir de confiance). One of the last part of formation. The multi purpose, psychologically and physically : When you're the target : challenge the trust in your team mate. Feel the sensation of been targeted and shooted. (Accept the inevitable and don't escape) Feel the physical sensation of impact. For the shooter : realise the importance of the shoot and the impact of your duty and choice. It's linked to their motto : « S'engager pour la vie ». There is multi meaning here : first is that you risk your life; next, your will learn lesson which guides all your lifetime; and, the most important in fact, is that you have, as possible, to don't kill anybody, even "enemy". The shoot to kill is the last choice, when the risk for hostage/ civilian is too big, cause you have to deal with extremist suicider. I hope my English is good enough to make you understand the concept of this exercise. (It's clearly not for TV show. It's just a iconic part of what is the level of their engagement) You can find all explanation in books of Prouteau, who is a founder of this team. He give the philosophy followed, and few unbelievable info of the beginning. (One of the most impressive story is the test which is given by politic minister to prove the efficiency of the concept : from sea, reach a military French base, enter inside, "take" a submarine, give a call, get out of the base and go back to sea without been seen/ detected. They almost succeed : the problem they face was at the end, when they get back to sea : ordinary gendarmes have discover their canoe hidden on the beach, so they had to manage the problem without giving any explain. This give a "crushed kepi incident" which is very savourous to read. )
Yeah, it's especially to build trust. For example, if to get a wounded or to go to cover you have to go in the line of fire of your teammates for some reason, you know they won't be shooting at you because they are proficient enough. You know they won't injure you. And that's also how they are able to do live firing exercises without killing each other.
And the revolver is there for several reasons: reliability, french pride (since it's a french gun and it's been the most trusted sidearm of the gign), versatility (it can be converted to a sniper pistol in urban areas if needed), tradition and it can be loaded with ammo that doesn't pierce through the whole body and hit an hostage which was not the case for magazine fed pistols when the GIGN was created.
@@benco8888 and from what i seen on demo ranch earlier "reliability" got taken to the next level for me, they ran over a revolver with a tank and was still fully functional
@@fiacradoyle7474 There is nothing wrong with being proud of your armed forces, but you also need to be able to look realistically, and the multitude of missions is the best indicator.
@@Litwinus Quantity doesn't guarantee anything I'm not proud of any armed forces not even my own i just look at it impartially. Clearly you have a reason to be biased not me.

The most elite special forces in the world were my grandma and her sisters in law (italians) making the sunday pasta at the living room table. Ravioli, spaghettis, whatever, you name it, in matter of minutes, without getting tired or making a mess with the flour. Not a single one of these units in the video could coordinate like that and disable like 20 big dudes without throwing a punch like that bunch of fine ladies.
Considering that some of the special forces have joint training and they swap technology it´s probably moot to try and rank one as the best. The SAS delivered some flashbangs to the GSG9 for raiding the Landshut and provided advice. Apart from that some of the units are police forces (e. g. the GSG9).
I think the most elite special forces are the ones no one knows exists
JTF2 kinda enter in this category, except for the part that we all know the name of their group, we know close to no shit about their feats and accomplishment.
I’m sure most nations have those, there’s probably a team you learn about once you get into SF if you excel

Being a Canadian, I can tell you truthfully that the public knows virtually nothing about JTF2. They don't publicize anything they do. Occasionally something shows up in the news, as is inevitable, but the US Navy SEALS get written about in the media _a lot_ more than JTF2. It is known where their base is in Ontario, or rather where some of them work out of, but virtually nothing else is known here in Canada. I have read that the American special forces like working with them because they know what they are doing, and with that you have basically exhausted my knowledge of them. And I think JTF2 likes to keep it that way.

@@paulomarreiros00 I'm pretty sure everyone in that field says British SAS are the best. No one had ever heard from them until the 1980 Iranian Embassy Seige.
@@HP-le3no thing is, it doesn't really matter does it? They do what they're supposed to do, accomplish their mission the way they're supposed to.
I'm from Portugal, the most special of our special forces are the DAE, I guess it could be translated to Special Actions Detachment.
And every special force that has trained with them, has gone on record, on how regardless of the outdated equipment, they can do the exact same job as them.
This to say, it doesn't matter, at least to me, who the best is. It only matters to me, that these guys kill the fucking terrorists, and don't come for me, I want to live a little bit longer!
i shit on them izi,il pack a 50 kg explosive vest and bom bom
All tier one units practice with live ammo, including room clearance with live personnel acting as hostages. It's to build trust with one another and to demonstrate that they can kill all the bad guys and none of the good guys. It's extreme, and is only done after repeated demonstration of their competence, but is necessary. I would want to be with guys that can do the mission under that pressure as well, in practice before going after hostiles. It probably also helps weeds out the guys who can't make their headshots before the live people are in the room due to the pressure of knowing the requirements in the end. I'm simply recounting what I've read (Rob O'Neil, Pete Blaber, Tom Satterly and many, many other first hand accounts).
In that case you'd need inside info on every single tier one group in the world, which you don't.
Where is the Australian SAS in this list.?

At the very end of the GIGN selection and training, the recruits have to pass the « Trust shot » (« Tir de confiance » in French). Their instructors basically stand in front of the recruit at 25 meters with a reinforced body armor and a target on the center of it, the recruit has to hit the target with a revolver. It basically shows the instructor saying « We’re at the end of training, to me I trained you right. I now trust you. Prove me I’m right. ». Every single GIGN operators passed this « Trust shot ». It can seem a little odd, but that’s how they do the thing and it proved its efficiency for decades now.

The SAS are insane, imagine being tortured in training to see if you will give up secrets. It's pretty easy to spot a SAS op its normally the dude walking dragging his massive balls behind him.
GER KSK does it too. It is psychological warfare and torture combined. Trainees are being held captive in some sort of room. The 24h process was never filmed before and very very few source material is out there on it. It's made to break people and simulate a POW situation.

That scene where GROM operators stand between the targets isnt their training. The GROM tradition is that every new guy has to stand between the targets. It shows the trust that you have to your friends and that you are ready to give your life to accomplish the mission.
Margaret Thatcher and some of her colleagues went through the same thing in the SAS killing house. I don't know if they still do it as part of the VIP protection training. It again comes back to trust. Reputedly she didn't bat an eyelid, because she had complete faith in them doing their job properly, hitting the simulated hostiles, and not the VIPs standing between them.

@@Si74l0rd that claim was first made by Andy McNabb (or whoever really wrote the book) in Bravo Two Zero. Given that the SAS admit they are human and that their branch suffers from equipment failure like the rest of the British Armed Forces, what is the practical purpose of putting a person, much less the leader of the Nation, next to targets in a live-fire exercise ? Answer: There is no practical purpose. The benefits supposedly gained by training this way do not justify the risk of the PM or H.R.H. taking a bullet between the eyes. Margaret Thatcher may have visited the "Killing House" and observed training, but that's as close as she got to the hot end of a SAS rifle.
There are only two units that are paramount. The Israeli Sayeret and the SAS. It's not because of the tech or support. It's the individual capacity. The Sayeret can deploy deep enemy countries singly or as a unit. An example of the SAS is the incident in Kenya with that one SAS trooper on the scene. Think of those two units as the needle. The rest are just big f daggers.

The GIGN operator shooting his buddy with a revolver is called “le tir de confiance” (French for “trust shot”). It closes the training course and is meant to seal the trust that GIGN operators have in each other. Since they often fight in very confined spaces, they have to know that their buddy’s aim is on point, hence the “trust shot”.

By shooting civilians
They have been involved in just about every war since WW2 regardless of if Australia was directly involved. They were often there as observers in plain cloths or doing things that were never on the books.

6:38 it's a tradition in GIGN, after finishing your training you shoot on one of your comrade to prove your loyalty and your efficientness
Tir de confiance, they do the same in Tunisia
Also on his point on the revolver GIGN did until not so long ago, actually carry a revolver as a side arm
About the GIGN revolver: this is MR73 model. The gun was designed for them, it has been test proofed to 300 000 shot of .357 Magnum, and each gun is factory tested for accuracy. It has been in use for a long time but today it’s more a weapon for tradition. You won’t see it in operation anymore. Today you can see the MR73 like a M1 Garand or M14 for some parade units.
GIGN being a police force doesn’t operate only against terrorist. GIGN speciality is to arrest people who snapped a wire, and maybe took their family hostage without killing them. They manage to arrest a lot of these guy with a single shot of .357 in the shoulder or things like that.
So a lot of emphasise is put in the group on accuracy shooting.
So the firing with MR73 is called “tir de confiance” or “trust shot”.
This isn’t a regular training but more a ritual with a traditional weapon when they end the long training and are accepted in the group.
The "trust shot" shows that they can completely rely on their operators. During an assault, you have completely confidence in the man behind you.
Both correct, a GIGN operator explained it like that in a "interview". Also the revolver is their "symbol". It's not a weapon they prefer in a firefight, they just carry it.
Copy and paste?
I just saw gun Jesus do a video of that MR73 a while back. It is a top shelf revolver. France had rather have a unique French made weapons over a proven weapon platform and they have ended up with some goofy shit because of it. This isn’t one of those but it is different. There used to be a saying in the auto industry that “the French copy no one and no one copies the French.”

A buddy of mine told me a story about a news briefing that he attended where the reporters were asking questions about special forces. One reporter asked what the difference was between Navy SEALs and Delta Force. I don't know how true it is, but allegedly went something like this:
Reporter: Can you tell us the difference between Navy SEALs and Delta Force?
Correspondent: Certainly. Ask me what the Navy SEALs are.
Reporter: (Confused) What are the Navy SEALs?
Correspondent: Navy SEALs are the Navy's primary special operations unit for conducting small-unit operations. Now ask me about Delta Force.
Reporter: OK ... what's Delta Force?
Correspondent: Next question.
That sounds great if it weren't for the fact there have been numerous books and magazine articles published about Delta Force along with several television documentaries.

French GIGN use revolvers as a side arm, typically MR73. With hollow points, DEVGRU6, used to but I'm unsure if they still do. There's high power loads, so when they need to neutralise, 100% certain, it's not a bad choice, even though it doesn't have the ammo of your Glocks 17 19 etcThe French marksman course is as tough as it gets, groundbreaking. With being a colonial power once, it has potential hostage scenarios, pan-global. The cons of using a revolver for the GIGN was the double action but Manhurin resolved that by offering a single action which allowed rapid fire while still achieving match precision. Hence why it was selected as main handgun of the GIGN. It was in the 70s and remained through the age as it proved its efficiency in some emblematic interventions of the GIGN.

I will say the UK SAS are at least one of the best. There's a video of a single SAS soldier in jeans on holiday taking over a hostage scene in Africa, he's running into a building by himself to take out the terrorists - they're pretty fearless.

Au GIGN, à la fin de leur formation, les stagiaires font une démonstration de leurs acquis, juste avant la remise officielle de leur brevet. La dernière étape est hautement symbolique : devant tous les cadres du GIGN, chaque stagiaire effectue un tir de confiance. Epreuve finale de la formation, qui consiste à tirer à balles réelles sur une cible en argile à quinze mètres, placée sur un gilet pare-balles porté par un camarade. Cela valide, le sang-froid, la précision et le calme du futur opérateur. Cela soude également le groupe qui reçoit la nouvelle recrue.
6:40 The moment the guy is shooting his friend is called the “trust shot”, every man get trough this in the initial training. The idea is to strengthen the trust you have with your teammates by giving them the responsibility to shoot you at the right spot and then it’s your turn to shoot the guy in return. I don’t think it’s “dumb” like you said.
This revolver is also very symbolic for the GIGN, it’s the one they used on the field when the unit was created but they surely don’t use it anymore today.

true
There is something I fundamentally do not understand about the statement "Most special forces learned from the sas, therefore they're number 1 on the list." How are they the best anymore if everyone copies their methods and they have taught their allies their methods? Multiple countries could now be building upon those foundations that the SAS might have set in stone, competing against one another and innovating new methods in the process to advance in warfare. The Spartans were the best at one point in history, but were bested by those who built upon their foundational principals and tactics to further engineer more effective methods of combat aka (The Macedonians.) Militaries and soldiers throughout history have been doing that the whole way through till now. Just because one entity builds the foundation, it does not entitle them to being the best once someone takes their findings and further builds upon them. Thats how warfare advances, by constantly finding new ways to do things. I think in todays age, most of the "best" special forces are pretty well all around equal. In terms of skillsets, you can only measure the man himself. But I do have a suspicion, that we haven't been given the names of the task forces, who truly would be considered the elite of the elite. There are already documents of their being such task units online.
@@zealandsword9557 first of all I'd like to point out that the Athenians finished off the Spartans because they didn't have naval ships and actually get blown up because of pop culture. Spartans weren't all that. Secondly the SAS wrote the book on dirty warfare but if you think they haven't developed and learned after over 70 years of operations your sorely mistaken. They still send soldiers to train other special forces including delta force and seals. If SAS weren't the best then we'd be copying other nations not them copying us.
@@charliealder3522 We're talking about the fundamental tactics of warfare here not how Sparta had fallen. The case in point here was that the spartans had mastered a form of warfare utilizing the phalanx form and the Macedonians improved on and beat them with their own modified version of the phalanx. #2 I do believe the SAS have indefinitely improved their tactics over 70 years of being in motion, but again, that beckons the question, wouldn't most of the other countries who have learned from them, be making strategic improvements, innovations and advancements on those principals just as the SAS are? Perhaps the States or Canada or any other allied country at this point in time, houses an extraordinary mind making a breakthrough in modern warfare tactics by using the original formula and is changing the game as we speak, just by simply building on what the SAS have developed. That's how warfare works and is why there hasn't been one sole specific country to carry "The best" mantle throughout history.

As a normal conscripted soldiers in Norway we beat the British SAS at snowy winter operation in the mountains. Dont think we would have done it in the dessert or in the jungle or in the summertime. So being most elite is a bit childish concept and shows lack or real knowledge of the military.
@@korsveien the concept of being the best has been around for millennia, and the facts are that there are military forces that are overall better trained in overall combat making them more elite than others. A common military comparison in America is the Marine Corps to the Army Rangers. They are extremely similar but in the end, the Rangers are more elite due to higher physical standards and more training. The reason I said the Seals are not the most elite is that while they operate on land, air, and sea their training has more emphasis on the sea. So why is it so wrong to suggest that a certain group of people are better than others at special operations?

about GIGN, shooting at your comrade at the end of the selection is called "tir de confiance" or shoot of confidence. after that, every member of the GIGN trust you, and your ability to use your weapons. the revolver is used for the tradition of the GIGN.
no, the revolver is used as its the most difficult to be exceptionally accurate with.
@@williamhawkes7437 actually its the contrary. The revolver (in single action) is way more accurate than a semi-automatic pistol. GIGN keep using revolvers (at least in training it seems) for this reason. They historicaly use the high end Manurhin MR 73 wich is famed for its precision.
Lorenzo is that why the standard side arm for the GIGN is the Glock 17 and 19 then? Yes they have access to the revolver but in fact they rarely use it. It’s also worth pointing out that before cnc machining it was true that revolvers were more accurate.... not any more! Look up the workings of each and its easy to see why!

As usual, another great video, with superb commentary from your good self, Sir. Now, I apologise in advance for such a long post!! But i wanted to be reasonably thorough, but not write a whole thesis!! So:
Many of the same thoughts ran through my head at almost exactly the moment that you voiced them. So here’s a brief, not-exhaustive list of some of those thoughts:
1 - I take a LOT of the info given in any video like this, with a pinch of salt. Because the narrator literally says “Their operations are totally shrouded in mystery….” But then goes on to quote (allegedly accurate) stats, like how many terror cell leaders they killed (they do that with several of the entries BTW),
2 - (This one is LONG btw) - Pakistan: I agree totally that Pakistan has at times been less than ideal as an ally. Apart from the famous lack of help during Operation Neptune Spear (that you mentioned), in 2006 there was a Huge, widely reported Terror Plot to mix liquids held in “gimmicked” soda bottles and cans, creating explosions that would have been small - but at 30,000 feet, still easily enough to blow a 747 out of the sky. It was later estimated that the plan was for up to 15 Jumbos being attacked almost at the same time. The loss of life would have been far worse that on 9/11. All the flights were planned to be from the 3 International London airports (London’s Heathrow, Gatwick & Stansted), and meant to land at various symbolic US Airports (JFK, O’Hare, etc). So a huge operation was started, to ‘smash’ the terror cell. It centred on CIA, NSA, FBI (+ others), and their UK Counterparts, MI6, MI5, GCHQ, & NCA (+ others). In summary, after months of surveillance, reconnaissance & more, of multiple planners in both London & Pakistan, the whole plot was foiled at the last minute, with dozens of arrests and terrorist charges, across London, and some in Pakistan.
BUT, the ‘Chief Planner’ was in a compound in Pakistan (deja vue?). And for weeks, a Bond-style operation was done, where, by agreement with the UK, Pakistani authorities would swoop in and catch him red-handed, with computer running, phones ringing, etc. He was second only to Bin Laden in importance. And somehow, amazingly, he was tipped off at the last minute - as it turns out, from well placed sources, by a General in the PK Military, who was a second or third cousin - and he vanished into safe dwellings in the PK hills. So….. Pakistan is often a “Frien-emy”, with divided allegiances, no doubt.
3 - I think the whole idea of ‘rating’ SF units from around the world, is misguided and not of much use, in general. For example - so much of their work is classified, that, by definition, we don’t even know enough to rank them in a meaningful way.
Then, different units are masters of different aspects of SF work. So to say for example that a Swedish SF unit is better because they endure super-cold conditions, with ice, snow, etc, compared with say Kenyan SF (who are also awesome, btw) is meaningless, because the Kenyans may be amazing in super-hot, jungle climates, where the Swedes would fold. It’s just impossible to make meaningful comparisons, IMO. They are all amazing troops - “the best of the best” - but in their own, niche ways.
4 - Lastly, I would say that there’s another problem with these ‘lists’: the top few spots are very predictable. But often, its because of fame, or notoriety, Hollywood - or even a political thing at play. So, EVERYONE knows that in any list like this, Delta Force, SAS, SEALs (especially Team Six), then, say, SBS, Spetznas, Mossad (or Shin Bet) are going to likely appear. For example, The SAS were almost unheard of before Operation Nimrod (the Iranian Embassy siege), and, SEAL Team Six was basically unknown to the average person, before the Bin Laden raid. But now, your (very funny!) comment at 10:50 - “We KNOW, Lady..” - says it all. But we know so little, that, IMO, these lists are more compiled by ‘pop culture’, recent-ish events, the movies, myth and mystery….. So, I only use these lists as a rough guide or for curiosity, rather than hard fact.
i would short out our comment and say. if someone wants to RATE or RANK Special forces, it should be from their past KNOWN operations. I know most are classified, but still the KNOWN operations atleast have some tangible evidence based on which ratings can be made.

Yes, very well summarised……
If your friend tried for delta and was never seen again, then he a made it
@Alien Gaming
The body would be released to the family. Now whether the guy who ultimately find out his friend's fate, is different, but he knew his buddy's family well enough, then he would know.
Maybe he got mixed up when he was telling you and actually applied for a job at the car wash, and that's why you've never seen him. Cos you never wash your car.
When?
I’ m French and I tell you for the 20th time : GIGN it’s not a Special Force !!! 😭
It is like the US Swat.
Contrariwise, the Marine Commandos are the most competent French Special Force👍
Same as alpha spetsnaz. It’s not a military branch but part of federal security.
Is retreat a required skillset?
@@fmpairsoft9039 I don't understand...
@@fmpairsoft9039 idk, do you want to risk yours
*They aren't soldiers, they are demons*
@@fmpairsoft9039 I mean, yeah? Only an idiot would never consider retreat
NZSAS of New Zealand , SASR of Australia prefer not to be in on this. They know they're good but don't like to brag about it.
This is actually very valid. They cant even have there faces known publicly
Taught everything they know by the SAS 😉
We have the bragging rights
@@Gazh64 We taught ourselves thank you very much 🤣
@@Gazh64 Not everything...everything plus additional outbback environment.
Force Recon #1. They not only are the most elite of Marines. They go through Navy Seal training in San Diego, California, & earn their silver scuba bubbles, then go to Ft. Benning Georgia to Army Ranger training to earn their gold wings. Going through Army Rangers & Navy Seals training & being Marines going through their own training. Force Recon
It's so cute how everyone is in here like "my country has most bestest speshul forses!!"
@@inzane1260 How would you know?
The SAS should top this list considering most nato SFs train based off of the SAS. Delta force was created because of how good the SAS are.
Delta Force WAS based off the SAS, I forgot about that!
SAS was best. But they've been copied, out-recruited, and out-budgeted by Delta
Well boo hoo. They are #2 on the list.
@@nicholasherrera3620 Aww diddums, did my opinion hurt your tiny yank brain?
@@anonymoususer1898 out-recruited and out-budgeted mean nothing, the S.A.S have always gone up against Superior numbers and won, it's not how many you have it's how skilled they are, and it doesn't matter how much your equipment costs if you don't have the expertise to use it.
The US have the most powerful and expensive military in the world, HOWEVER FACT in the first + second Gulf wars and Afghan war more coalition troops were killed and injured by US forces than by the enemy ""before the US claimed the wars were over"" .
About GIGN "dumb shoot" : it's the "trust shoot" (tir de confiance). One of the last part of formation. The multi purpose, psychologically and physically :
When you're the target : challenge the trust in your team mate. Feel the sensation of been targeted and shooted. (Accept the inevitable and don't escape) Feel the physical sensation of impact.
For the shooter : realise the importance of the shoot and the impact of your duty and choice.
It's linked to their motto : « S'engager pour la vie ». There is multi meaning here : first is that you risk your life; next, your will learn lesson which guides all your lifetime; and, the most important in fact, is that you have, as possible, to don't kill anybody, even "enemy". The shoot to kill is the last choice, when the risk for hostage/ civilian is too big, cause you have to deal with extremist suicider.
I hope my English is good enough to make you understand the concept of this exercise. (It's clearly not for TV show. It's just a iconic part of what is the level of their engagement)
You can find all explanation in books of Prouteau, who is a founder of this team. He give the philosophy followed, and few unbelievable info of the beginning. (One of the most impressive story is the test which is given by politic minister to prove the efficiency of the concept : from sea, reach a military French base, enter inside, "take" a submarine, give a call, get out of the base and go back to sea without been seen/ detected. They almost succeed : the problem they face was at the end, when they get back to sea : ordinary gendarmes have discover their canoe hidden on the beach, so they had to manage the problem without giving any explain. This give a "crushed kepi incident" which is very savourous to read. )
Yeah, it's especially to build trust.
For example, if to get a wounded or to go to cover you have to go in the line of fire of your teammates for some reason, you know they won't be shooting at you because they are proficient enough. You know they won't injure you. And that's also how they are able to do live firing exercises without killing each other.
And the revolver is there for several reasons: reliability, french pride (since it's a french gun and it's been the most trusted sidearm of the gign), versatility (it can be converted to a sniper pistol in urban areas if needed), tradition and it can be loaded with ammo that doesn't pierce through the whole body and hit an hostage which was not the case for magazine fed pistols when the GIGN was created.
@@benco8888 and from what i seen on demo ranch earlier "reliability" got taken to the next level for me, they ran over a revolver with a tank and was still fully functional
@@phillthefattman8671 Well I guess it's not the case for all revolvers haha but what i meant was that it never jams
we knew about delta force, Chuck Norris was one of them...😂
I love how men and women who most likely have no idea what left face or right face mean, are rating the “best” special forces.
Successful actions testify who is the best, and Americans and Poles, have them the most.
Most people are biased when it comes to this they love to think their own country has the best special forces.
@@fiacradoyle7474 There is nothing wrong with being proud of your armed forces, but you also need to be able to look realistically, and the multitude of missions is the best indicator.
@@Litwinus Quantity doesn't guarantee anything I'm not proud of any armed forces not even my own i just look at it impartially. Clearly you have a reason to be biased not me. I just think the SAS are prob the best at what they do same as any other job and no defintely sheer scale doesn't mean shit and if you think that fair play to you 👏👌 Look everyone looks at Americans as stupid and let's get political why shouldn't they you support wars you know fuck all about there is stupid people everywhere.. Just so happens America produces them in quantities that are huge so does that mean America has the best idiots by your measure?
@@fiacradoyle7474 I do not judge the world view, but skills. You have the right to your opinion and I have my own and let's stay on it.

@@elitismautumn8245 lmao 😂😂
The most elite special forces in the world were my grandma and her sisters in law (italians) making the sunday pasta at the living room table. Ravioli, spaghettis, whatever, you name it, in matter of minutes, without getting tired or making a mess with the flour. Not a single one of these units in the video could coordinate like that and disable like 20 big dudes without throwing a punch like that bunch of fine ladies.
Considering that some of the special forces have joint training and they swap technology it´s probably moot to try and rank one as the best. The SAS delivered some flashbangs to the GSG9 for raiding the Landshut and provided advice.
Apart from that some of the units are police forces (e. g. the GSG9).
