Amanda, a four man squad of SAS got sent to Vietnam during the Vietnam War as observers and allegedly got bored observing and sneaked out of camp one night, set up an ambush, killed a platoon of approx 30 NVA regulars and sneaked back in, the bodies were discovered next morning but as they were using American weapons nobody had a clue who did it and that's one of the reasons the SAS is the best in the world along with the SBS!
The SASR were there getting work done.Didn't think you poms were involved in Vietnam?
@crow7505 As I said they were only there as observers however while you're here I've read "First to Fight", "Trackers", "Shockwave" and "Crossfire" and have seen the movie "Danger Close" and was wondering if you could recommend any other books about the ANZAC side of the Vietnam War?
@@crow7505yes they were definitely there. In the last few years of my father's life, ex BSF, he suffered with dementia. On occasions he would recount things that had happened with amazing clarity. Most of the things he spoke about were bloody terrifying. We always knew he had served in Korea and a few dubious locations but he never said anything about Vietnam. He just seemed to have an absolute hatered for anything American, but he never said why. When he passed I inherited a small ammo box full of photos and paperwork and, yes, they were definitely there.
@@steveburgess9180i share his hatred 😉
@@tackleberry357 Paul Ham's Vietnam the Australian war was a great book!
I've briefly worked with the SAS during my time in the Army. They are quality. The SBS are also a quality unit.
I saw on another reaction video a comment that said there was once a multi nation exercise with all the SF teams taking part. The American SF team put a sign outside their tent that said "Second to None" . The SAS team responded by putting up their own sign. It said, quite simply, "None".
cheeky...
British humour in one word...
He he makes the point! I wonder if it was actually happened.would like to thing so
And the SBS just kept their quiet and confident low profile.
When you know you're really good, you don't feel the need to brag about it. The SAS deliberately have the concept of 'the grey man'. Of course, not everyone is - yes, I'm looking at you, "Andy McNab", aka Steven Mitchell.
I’ve known two SAS officers. One was WW2 veteran and one of the first in the service. Another broke his hip during training. Rehabilitated and went back. The SBS are not well known but equally efficient and operate from submarines, etc..
the SBS are equal to the SAS they just operate more low-key and less in the public eye, the only real difference between them is that the SBS can operate from air, land and sea whereas the SAS operate in the air and on land.
I would put the SBS at the top of the tree, their training is more extensive than any other SF unit and most if not all of their operations are highly classified, it's one of the reasons why you rarely hear about them at all.
It's the exact same as sas boat troop. They all do the same selection and then go off and specialise, so boat and sbs go off and do their diving (although didn't during Afghan apparently as there was no need) and mt troop will go off and do their thing ect. In terms of secrecy then they're no more secret than anyone else. Less so arguably when you consider how many are on telly and podcasts jibbing away. Also if we're going to use a lack of knowledge of missions as an indicator for best then pathfinder Plt. 1Para And the SRR are more secretive but they're not better than sas and the SBS
The SBS ops are so secret they didn;t even make this list!
@@me5969 Have seen SAS and paras writing books and the like but as far as I have so far found none from the SBS - with one single exception and that isn't about his time in the SBS. If there are any I haven't found them and nor has my husband and he has been looking.
Hi- Special Forces book nerd here! I've read a couple: John Parker- SBS: The Inside Story Of The Special Boat Service and Duncan Falconer- First Into Action. Would they be any good?
There's also one by Saul David (Very good author) SBS. Not read that one!
Most people hadn't heard of the SAS until the Iranian Embassy siege at Princes Gate in 1980
I think most people have heard of the SAS. They're world famous.
@@heidijames8825 i here what your saying but they became famous to the majority of people after the Princes Gate siege in 1980 but they were formed during the western desert campaign during the Second World War
I remember it well. The siege had been going on a while and all the TV news crews were camped across the street with little happening. All of a sudden the BBC cut away from the snooker to show it unfolding live. Men in balaclavas descending on ropes, small explosions going off. All very exciting and thrust the SAS into the public eye.
That shows their lack of knowledge I knew about SAS in the 60's
@@paulkelk5142 I agree with @cuthbert246. If people hasn't heard of them before that speaks volumes about their lack of knowledge. I even knew about the SAS as a child and I was not even in a military family or anything.
The SAS guys come from all walks of life and you'd never even know they were members they are so unremarkable. Watch the interview with Billy Bingham on when he successfully passed SAS selection. He turned up at HQ and met this other member who he said looked like he had a Dad body while Billy was as fit as a butchers dog. He was invited out for a run by "dad bod" and within 2 miles he'd disappeared off into the distance leaving Billy blowing out of his arse! 😂
I went for a run about 20 years ago with a Dad Bod, some kids mouthed off "Oi fatty!". But he had me hanging outta my ass. He was Mike Gratton, former winner of the London Marathon
Hi Amanda,
You might want to watch the excellent BBC drama series 'SAS Rogue Heroes' which is based on the formation of the SAS in WWII and it's early years.
One thing to be aware of is many of these forces aren't directly comparable as they have different roles/purposes.
I take my hat off to any of these guys Amanda , I know I couldn't do it so I'm glad these people exist to protect us . I'm surprised the SBS were not included in this list .🇬🇧
In the 70's, when the last real HMS Ark Royal was visiting Ney York, we in the UK had a report in the newspapers of an incident. Its been many years, so to parphrase, 'A Royal Marine from HMS Ark Royal was attacked by 3 armed muggers. The assailants are recovering in hostpital'
The British SBS training manual is in the US navy Seals museum it was used as a first step training for navy Seals
UK SBS began in 1940/1 ...US Navy Seals began 1962
Most special forces copied us
The UK Special Boat Service do the same as the SAS but in flippers.
I didn't realise until I looked into it but the SBS came first SAS second also SBS do more training than the SAS because they have to deal with training at sea
@@lynchaney6844 By name yes but the SEALS were around during WW2.
Hi Amanda, I am 70yrs old and I joined HM Royal Marines on my 18th birthday and served for 10yrs. We were never spoken of as 'Special Forces' back in the day, but they are now.
We trained in AACC (All Arms Commando Course). We did our jungle training in Belize and our Arctic Warfare Training in Norway
approx 100-150 miles from Russia inside the Arctic Circle. When I got my green lid, I was lucky enough to get my first choice and served with 45 Cmdo. After 3 years I served with 42 Cmdo for 3 years and then back to 45 Cmdo for the rest of my time.
Well said
@@rayfielding Thank you Sir.
42 commando along with paras pathfinders are special forces support group but not SF
thank you for your service to our departed Queen Elisaebeth 2
@@kevinmatthews2620 Thank you. It was a pleasure and I would do it all over again. The one thing that really upset me was, I left in 1980 and the Falkland happened 2 years later, I was gutted. I did shed a tear when I watched the fleet sail.
Hi amanda .i have seen navy seals on youtube stating the sas are the best in the world ...good vid again ❤
:))
In order (and not to slight any of the other special forces), the one's I want on my side are:
1. Special Air Service / Special Boat Service
2. Mossad (Israel)
Watch the earlier Channel 4 series "Who Dares Wins" with Ant Middleton as it covers elements of selection.
And, Delta Force are not a patch on the SAS/SBS.
The Mossad went after the terrorists who perpetrated the 1972 Olympic Games massacre.... And they got most - if not all of them. I certainly wouldn't want them (or the SAS!) looking for me.....
Delta is a versatile unit, the founder of this unit was Col Beckwith who was a exchange soldier from the U.S Army who served with the SAS, after seeing what the SAS could do he went back to the us and made a report on what special forces could offer the U.S, After his report he was allowed to use what he learnt from the SAS and Delta was formed.
ah thats interesting ! :)
The Embassy that was stormed by the SAS I remember watching it unfold on BBC News. I was about 6 years old.
Great video! Thanks. I think you need to be a very special person to not only get through such tough courses, but also to go on and handle some of operations they face. Check out Christian Craighead retired SAS who was the first in at a hostage situation in Nairobi.
ex reme air tech (helicopter dude)1979-1985 had the experience of working with SAS on exercise ..... they were just normal guys like you would meet in a pub except they weren't
That's one of the SAS's advantages. They look and seem completely normal guys.....
I seem to remember a newspaper article, many moons ago, about a normal older guy in a British pub who was attacked randomly by a local, young thug. The older guy had ripped both the younger guy's ears off in a split-second reaction and disabled him. They tried to get him done for GBH as he admitted doing it, but they let him off as they had to admit that his training meant it was a split-second reaction. That is some training!
Richard Marcinko said of all the spec ops he'd trained with the SBS was by far the toughest.
British military 14 Intelligence Company, is like the SAS but with added smarts. James Rennie's book The Operators well worth a read.
14 Int evolved into the SRR a long time ago - the third UK SF Regiment.
I have read The Operators many times. Great read.
@@OMT988 "The United Kingdom Special Forces (UKSF) is a directorate comprising the *Special Air Service, the Special Boat Service, the Special Reconnaissance Regiment* , the Special Forces Support Group, 18 (UKSF) Signal Regiment and the Joint Special Forces Aviation Wing, as well as the supporting No. 47 Squadron." Wikipedia.
The SFSG ,18SR & JSFAW support the primary SF *regiments* . Why would you pretend otherwise?
Yes, The Operators is a brilliant read. 👍👍
@@OMT988 Thanks for American-splaining that to a Brit who served for 17 years... I didn't 'miss' the reserve units - they come under the same _regimental_ umbrellas.
And the SRR is absolutely 'Tier 1'. But they're quite happy you know so little about them.
SAS and SBS are the best in the world, its pretty simple, when delta was conceived it was done so by taking practices observed from the sas, both units are elite units.
There’s a Tv show in the Uk called SAS who dares wins where former SAS/SBS members showcase what it’s like to be trained in the SAS and what they have to go through. Obviously it doesn’t show you the full ins and outs due to secrecy but it’s brutal some of the things they have to go through. It’s pretty interesting as well as they’re training real people who want to go through it.
However with the SAS, you have to be selected from the other military army before then going on to do the training. Most people don’t finish it as it’s that intense. Some even died during the process.
SAS AND SBS ALL DAY LONG THE FIRST AND THE BEST.
I would argue that the SAS and Delta Force are on an equal footing since the first Delta Force were trained by the SAS. But, hey it’s an American video so the producers have to put the US forces top.😅
Up yours. You need to calibrate your mindset.
Problem with brits is that they are no longer relevant.
I would agree, even going as far to say the SAS is top. But as this is an American upload they have to not only put themselves top but also have to have two entries in the list!
@@tonymantle9734 It is what it is. But the US people know the SAS and their achievements. They saw the Iranian embassy siege. Delta Force removed Osama bin Laden, but the SAS were also there. The SAS held back because of 9/11, this was an American revenge operation.
No mention of the SBS (Special Boat Service), the Royal Navy's special forces, used as part of the SAS now, comprised of Sailors and Royal Marines specialising in marine and underwater assaults. All UK Special Forces return to their Regiments or branch and normal service after training and wear that uniform to maintain secrecy to identity and await a call to service or further training to the SAS or SBS. Vanishing from ones unit or ship for a while and then reappearing is not uncommon for UK service personnel for a number of reasons and is never questioned. Some of those Guardsmen on duty outside Buckingham Palace could well be members of the SAS.
I had the pleasure to spend time with the pathfinders .
A very good read is Ben Macintyre's SAS: Rogue Heros. It's the official history of the origin of the SAS. Parts of it were turned into a television series; parts of it could never be filmed simply because of the horrorific nature of what the men went through and what happened to some of them.
They all do amazing work and ask for no glory true top class soldiers no matter what country they come from.
Sure, pure professionals, hardly any casualties, clean and swift ops, but I know more elites die after their contract than during their missions. At least, that's what happened to my dad's unit. Some end their lives, some overdose on whatever, but they all share one thing; you'll never be able to sleep again normally afterwards. Never ever has he told me much details, but my dad was an elite. He never recovered from it and even if he would have a nap (he could sleep standing up), he woke up screaming. Always. So he found a job that needed someone willing to work 20 hours a day, 7 days a week so he took it, just to silence his demons. He passed away a year ago and I really hope he's finally found his peace and hope he really can sleep now..
Britain's Royal Naval special force Special Boat Service or S.B.S. formed on or around S.A.S during the early days a ww2.
Often overlooked for their counterparts Special Air Service .The S.B.S are specialist in maritime counter terrorism.
During the ww2 they were tasked with beach reconnaissance and small boat raids on hostile coast lines
The S.B.S are shrouded in secrecy.
Information about them is extremely hard difficult to come by.
By Strength and Guile .
GSG9 (Germany) is not technically a military organisation, it's more a militarised police organisation. I belive the French GIGN is similar.
Even in the height of WW2 the Brits not only performed heroically but they also never lost their unmatchable humour.
Deception in a war can help turn a defeat to a victory, the Brits had inflatable life sized tanks, lined up on a beach to to fool the German reconnaissance plans thinking that's where the attack was to come from.
I saw an original clip, where one day the wind gusted with much gusto, they had to tied down the tanks as they were being blown across the beach.
When the Germans did their deception, building an airfield, but with fighter/bomber planes made out of wood and painted exactly like the metal planes, to (try) and fool the Brits, the Brits bombed it with wooden bombs!!!
I read that one such bomb remained intact as it landed in soft/wet mud, which the Germans in being so impressed with the 'funny' side of it, displayed it in a glass cabinet, acknowledging humour of the highest order.
No mention of the Special Boat Service?
I'm ex sbs. And regerkeley was running 30miles a day duing 6minit miles
Very interesting video but surely the most fearsome group are the E.K.B, (Entitled Karen Brigade)
I would put the British SAS and SBS in the first two positions, followed by the Israeli, French and US SOFs.
The big problem in rating SOFs is that most operations they do are top secret, so how can one say who is better than the other.
There is also a mix of missions, between military and counter terrorism with some forces acting more as counter terrorist forces rather than military.
For example, the Greek Army SOFs were established in the Middle East after Greece was occupied by the Axis Forces and trained along side the British SAS and SBS.
They also use the same motto: "Who Dares Wins" in it's Greek translation.
The Greek Navy Underwater Demolition Teams, were created in the '50s, by officers who went to the US and were trained by the US SEALS (something done to this day).
Contrary to other SOFs, the Greek ones are more specialized in regard to their missions.
The Greek Army has two parachute commando squadrons and a top secret Special Parachute Detachment that only it's existence is known.
There are also three Mountain Raider Squadrons and six Amphibious Raider Squadrons, one of which is a tier one unit for immediate reaction.
The Navy has the OYK (UDT) that have three unconventional warfare teams, one landing operations support team and an underwater Explosive Ordnance Disposal team.
The Air Force has a Combat Air Rescue Squadron.
The Greek Coast Guard has the Underwater Missions Team, that is a maritime counter terrorism unit and also trains with the US SEALS in Greece.
And the Greek Police have the EKAM, which is a counter terrorism unit for land operations, similar to the US SWAT teams.
These are some videos about the SOFs of Greece:
The beginning:

th-cam.com/video/p25qGXXy7zE/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/hKMz3kDBtiI/w-d-xo.html
and the Police Counter Terrorism Unit:
th-cam.com/video/wP_mMQPe1SY/w-d-xo.html
The training needs to as tough and realistic as it can be. There is an acceptable loss percentage on exercises before the exercise is stopped. Well there used to be in the British Army when I served in it.
Also for GSG9 mission at Mogadishu there were 2 members of the SAS with them providing advice and support.
GSG9 were trained by the SAS.....
Renewable contracts (5,4,3 year long), usually operative decides not to renew or they get a negative doctor's or psychological opinion. If you're not in active training you wait for a call. But you usually are in constant training. When they quit/retire they open shooting ranges, survival schools, gun stores, become instructors with army or police. I know 2 became school teachers.
Amazing isn't it. The Americans always top the list of special forces. Just like every American movie or TV show has the lead as an ex SF, Ranger, Marine etc. All of the USA must have served I guess 😂
Stop crying.
@@joeysausage3437He's not wrong though
@@making_randoms No, I am a Pennsylvania and I know you do not understand but I appreciate all. To judge the United States because of Hollywood is not correct.
@@joeysausage3437 Stop being unintelligent.
@@joeysausage3437 People will judge the USA because of Hollywood because that's what is constantly being shown to be American. Stop being so conceited with your Movies and TV shows and broadcast the real America which is a completely different picture. Right?
I wondered why the Australian and New Zealand SAS were not mentioned? seeing as 5 of their living troopers were awarded the Victoria Cross? More than any other commonwealth country. I am a Brit & extremely proud of my Ozzy, and Kiwi cousins.
Funny thing about SF: You take intelligence tests to enter. Obviously there is a bar you must be over. But there is a cap you must be under, too. You can't be TOO smart. Oh, the bar is high enough - there's tons to learn: theory, plans, tactics, languages, operation of sophisticated equipment, ability to quickly acquire knowledge from instruction manual, sniper-diver-paratrooper maths, often counter-espionage and anti-surveillance skills, chemistry, physics, anatomy... These are smart, knowledgeable people. Just can't be TOO smart at the starting point.
Always overlooked are the Special Boat Service (Squadron) that may well be because of how secretive they are but they deffo make this top 10 if not topping it
Trust me the training is usually far tougher than actual operation
Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.
lol we used to do 5 miles in 1hr and 9 miles in 2 hrs in the tropics. 2 miles in the sand with all our gear in 14 mins
Delta.. Obviously
Some of my favorite people I've interacted with in the past were special forces. They always seem so happy go lucky, to think that more than likely they've taken possibly a multitude of lives is always strange to me when they generally are retired older men that are hanging out at the beach just drinking out of a coconut, cracking a couple jokes.
And the real Top Two are:-
No. 2. The SAS.
No. 1. The SBS.
It's OK Amanda as you can attest we do our own share of Marauding American women too
The S.A.S. and S.B.S. carry out the same selection course at the end of which, the successful candidates can choose which branch they wish to serve in. The S.B.S. are not just recruited from the Royal Marines, but from the Royal Navy and Army Commandos and anyone's else who likes a bit of swimming, likewise in S.A.S. recieves maritime spawn.
My brother was a shaolin monk who led deadliest mission against western scum back in 1974
Don't forget the SBS as well as the SAS.
Delta Force Training manual page 1..... CALL THE SAS
Number one the most badass American military unit is DELTA FORCE and on second place is NAVY SEALS!
G.I. Jane would give you a very small light hearted taste at SEAL training, and SAS Rouge Heroes shows you how the SAS got started.
theres a series where regular ppl take the most basic SAS course, there you can see some of the training they get, cant remember the name but google should have it, its good
The GIGN take out the Big Cheeses of crime and terror LOL
SAS/SBS were formed in the second world war. They have trained other SF teams in their tactics and methodology.
I could lie and say it's the Special Welsh Service, but, yeah, it's the SAS
Love the rest of your stuff. x
My teacher said never run with scissors, I said to the teacher 2 things wrong with that statement, I don’t run
Massive respect to all of them but I’d put the SAS top.
This video is very misleading. She got mixed up with regulat SEALs and SEAL Team 6 or DEVGRU. They're 2 different things even though they're both Navy SEALs. DEVGRU are on the same level and tier as Deltas. They're both Tier 1 units while the regular Navy SEALs are Tier 2 units.
i have been told that delta force is just a propaganda stunt, but this list neglected the french foreign legion! those and the gurka regiment are the real scary guys! still enjoyed the video :) big love to all people :)
You can read the book the operator which gives great detail of the seals training
No mention of the SIS or the SBS . Note British special forces also have to be fluent multiple languages as well as multiple weapons knowledge and much much more.
Hi Amanda , during WW2 my late Grandfather was in the Worlds original Special Forces Winston Churchills Army Commandos , my Grandfather was in First Special Service Brigade SOE 1 Commando. The SAS and SBS were formed from the Army Commandos and also the US Army Rangers are based on the legendary Commandos. After WW2 they were disbanded and the Royal Marines kept the name and ethos of the Commandos alive. RIP To all Commandos who fell , Also to Jerry Woods ( My Late Grandfather ) Excellent video I'm just glad that apart from Russia we can count on all of those as Allies which is brilliant I know what Russians can be like remember Alexander Litvinenko and then the poisoning in Salisbury etc over 20 killings have happened in England as a result of Putins signature starting with Litvinenko so having the SAS, SBS and RFF and also are newest UK Army Rangers I'm glad we've got are special forces plus my family connection way back when .
SAS/SBS
There is another video on TH-cam comparing the SF lots from around the world, only he does admit that the US SF don't have the same stamina. They do heavy gym workouts and have muscles that Mr Universe would be proud of but they simply don't do stamina training and the UK and French forces [the two he had worked with, think French Foreign Legion SF branch] could and did leave them standing when it came to covering a large amount of ground [apparently one reason the US use more helicopters to transport their troops]. No idea if it's true but he claims to be an ex US navy seal and also an ex US ranger [not sure of the difference to be honest] so if true I'm guessing he knows what he is talking about.
Amanda, as a 26 year Army veteran (Airborne, Ranger, Special Forces) assigned to a SF ODA team for 20 years because I failed the Delta psych evaluation (long story). I can tell you why we do it. Our service comes from a profound and unwavering sense of duty, honor, courage, and love of country. As simple as that, although that last part is the hardest now days because what we have now is NOT the country I fought for... And, you are absolutely right, for the most part we are NOT people you want to get on the bad side of. It's not healthy.😁👍
Respect!
Hi Amanda, 2 programmes I recommend you watch to know more about the SAS, the movie 6 days and the TV series SAS Rogue Heroes.
Delta force and the Seals are there because of the SAS and SBS and their activities, frowned upon by General Schwarzkopf, in the Gulf War he soon changed his mind. SAS and SBS have new names and identities and you must read Blair ‘Paddy’ Mayne by Scott Hamish to see where it all started. A very illuminating insight. The man was a giant. Had the the Distinguished Service Order with 4 bars but never the VC. Read it. Fascinating
Hi Amanda the sas is the best sf but secret wise so is the sbs no one knows much about them either
Great piece Amanda. For me the best are the SAS, the original, English, smallest budget and just cool. In reality who knows they are all just amazing and yes to be feared however imagine being kidnapped but knowing the SAS were coming!? Very comforting!!
Please watch the Iranian Embassey siege as so much is on camera and we still remain invisible out here. Retirement is something they must do but what does one say at a dinner party when asked what one does does ??
Bob
England
English? The SAS was created by a Scot. It’s British. Not English.
Evening Amanda, I think you could do with checking out the Gurkha training for entry to British Army.
Some of the Gurkha’s work as Security at most of the top UK Festivals, usually in large woodland areas around the external boundaries of the venue site, where they can hide and make sure that nobody tries to get in that shouldn’t be there, with anything that they shouldn’t have,
The Footballer, Rooney also employs Gurkha’s to patrol his home, after having loads of angry football fans turning up outside his house, because he was going to leave one football team to join another team in the same city,
🇬🇧😎👍🏼
@@steelpanther9568 I was lucky enough to train alongside a Gurkha unit in Belize when we were doing our jungle training.
A unit of gentlemen and I still have a khukuri (original Nepalese spelling) that was given to me as a friendship gift by a wonderful
Gurkha who became a great friend, who I still email regularly. The kukri is displayed and takes pride of place in my home.
@@martinbootneck ,
They are great guys to be friends with and take their jobs seriously, but you wouldn’t want to be on the wrong side of them, especially when you’re the one at fault and they aren’t in a good mood,
🇬🇧😎👍🏼
All I can say is ask any military personnel that has worked with the sas and see what they say that's all I can say.
I attended a military school, where we had to participate in parades in uniforms like the ones worn for Trooping the Colour. As part of the uniform, we also wore the cap badge of our fathers, but the sons of SAS soldiers didn’t wear their badge, in case a terrorist (this was during the Troubles) saw them in uniform, for their safety and their families.
SAS soldiers only wear the SAS capbadge while they are serving with the Regiment, their sons would, and should, have worn the capbage of the Regiment the joined the SAS from eg the Parachute Regiment.
@@williambelford9661 Wrong. You were not at DYRMS, although the sons of SAS personnel wore their father’s original cap badge, they also had the SAS insignia as well. I’m speaking from experience. I was there in the 1980’s, and eventually wore 2 cap badges on my uniform - RAMC & QARANC. Friends had the SAS, but were told not to wear it.
How about Norways special forces?
Hmmm, no one but no one can match either the SBS or SAS I am sure the Navy Seals and Delta force are top of their game but even mention the SAS name is enough to instil fear into any foe. Under pinning their commitment and bravery is traditions and history. Let’s not forget the Royal
Marines and Parachute Regiment. They are all special. Ordinary people doing extraordinary jobs.
The SAS are the best they taught a lot of other forces including American forces
Ive heard that 👍
I Believe that if your hired by any secret forces the rule be strictly no cellular phone no radios 18:21 or tv and no communication to any family members or friends or wife children very seriously security services and probably never see the husband for months or years on end a terrible life to cope with . Amanda thank you very much for the video ❤️❤️❤️
The video is wrong, The SAS/SBS are the pinnacle of Special Forces, they actually train the Seals and Delta Force.
Equipment does not an elite SFs operative make, it’s the training, the mentality and the collective experiences of the operative and in that regard the British Special Forces are way out ahead of all others. Just look at the body of known work executed by the SAS/SBS and I’ll stress this is just the “known operations”.
Finally if you won’t accept my opinion or the numerous accounts of British SFs successes then search out interviews from the retired SF operatives of other countries such as Delta Firce, Mossad etc who unequivocally rate the British as the Gods of Special Force operatives.
As soon as the Russians copped a mention I was out of here. LMAO. 🤣
"no European Special forces can claim to be better than the SAS"
sorry, but the SBS do so much more. hence why many SAS have fail selection to the SBS.
You certainly need to be tough as old boots to be in these groups.
the SAS is no.1 , followed closely in 2nd by the SBS
Special Boat Service Are the original. ( By Strength And Guile ) They lead others follow. 🇬🇧
Where are the nixies in the thumbnail? :(
SASF also knows as the Recces........... never ever underestimate Africa
Look up SAS and the Iranian embassy in London.
They train in my neck of the woods.
There was a well defined protocol for American service personnel during WW2. It wasnt a goal to sleep with, marry or disturb English women oren (there were hay people serving roo). It was one of respect. Yeah, we've all seen the moviea. But it is very fanciful.
SAS are the most professional and feared of course, it would be the Seals as No. 1 because it's an American list. But SAS are the Gold standard elite force in the world.
The fact that Delta force is known proves that they are not the best. The best are still unknown and not in your list.😊
:)) great point!
SBS not by strength by guile them guys are just scary
Obi Wan Nairobi...enough said.
You should look up the footage of the Nairobi siege when a SAS operative who was training Kenyan soldiers was asked to help he had all his gear in the boot of his car went in to the hotel killed the two gunmen in between getting many hostages out the building his name was Christian Craighead who is now retired that is how we know his name
Obi Wan Nairobi
SBS THEN CLOSE BEHIND SAS
The SAS SBS Are the best they taught USA Delta Force 3rd so how can she have them
First typical American think they are the best in fact I would also put the Royal Marines Ahead of them.
I’m not SAS but I am ex British military and I’ve worked with lots of you Americans, while on exercise and I never met a single one who wasn’t fascinated, respected and feared the SAS. They all openly said that the SAS was the best. Most put it as Delta force is tuff and bad ass but the SAS are just frightening like the boogy man just there in the shadows watching you
After Princes Gate, the next opportunity for the SAS to shine operationally, was the Falklands Campaign. Both SAS and SBS squads were inserted by submarine onto the Falklands weeks before the main UK forces arrived. Their role then was primarily intelligence gathering, and sending back coded messages regarding Argentine strength, strongpoint locations etc. Once the UK forces landed, they switched to offensive tasks, such as taking out artillery spotters and Argentine recce groups etc. Sadly, during one particular night patrol on the Falklands, an SBS group bumped into an SAS patrol. Both engaged each other without realising who they were. One SBS man died as a result.
Russian Spitz on are probably not tip top anymore because of today
SAS is the original elite unit. Everything else is taken from them. When doing training exercises with allied forces, SAS always comes out on top. They're number 1 in the world hands down.
