The S.A.S and Navy SEALs are generally considered the top special forces units, but there's no real way to tell.

While i have no comment on who is most "elite" let me share this quote on how crazy the FSK training used to be.

"Testimony in court and in the media indicates that training previously included parachute landings on helicopter landing-pads related to oil platforms. The SAS considered such as suicide missions."

Too many people in this thread keep mentioning Mossad. I'll repeat myself, the Mossad is an intelligence agency somewhat like the CIA. They are not a special forces unit, they do not fall under the IDF, nor take orders from the chief of staff/military high command. The Mossad is a government agency with operatives similar to MI6 and CIA.

Israeli military special forces partially include:
Sayeret matkal (Similar to SAS/Delta)
Shayetet 13 (The Israeli navy seals)
Shaldag (Air force special forces laser targeting and such)
Unit 669 (Airbone rescue and evac unit)

There are quite a few more small units under different wings of the military and pretty much each division has its own "special operations unit" called Sayarot.

The cream of the crop in Israel is most likely considered to be YAMAM which is a anti terror police unit comprized of ex military special forces veterans. As you can imagine only the top of the military spec ops community actually become a YAMAM operative.

So yeah there's a big difference between a government agency like Mossad and the military spec ops units.

It's definitely the CIA's SOG (Special Operations Group). They recruit from Delta Force, Seal Team 6, other top Special Forces groups.

No you are wrong.

Many of the teams are not comparable to SAS but SEAL team 6 and BUDS for example are among worlds finest SpecOps.

Do not think KSK is considered in the same league as SAS and Spetznaz mate.



Well the GSG9 won in the years 2005 and 2006 international comparission competitions (the Original SWAT World Challenge (OSWC) in the USA)

And the SEK of Baden-Württemberg won the international Combat Team Conference, which is known as the inofficial worldchampionship of police and military special forces, this year and defended it's title as the worldchampions from the year 2007.

Don't really know what the KSK have accomplished and I'm too lazy to look it up



I'll quote myself, because 29 out of 30 posts here say:
"Dat groop be so guhd"
Without giving any good reasons why their pick should be under the best units.
Oh and ofc the guys who shun everything and present their favourites as demigods.
Come on guys I know you can do it better, I've seen some funny posts here already and posts with actual content, so I know that you can be better!

So funny.


Always insightful...

I'd have to say the SAS, they had a show on TV that was an obstacle course and then they had some units from around the world compete under certain conditions. The SAS won, each season I believe.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

honestly there isn't nescecerily one best each have their own perks:
technology: clearly the americans take this with the various amount of research that goes into new weaponry etc
discipline/endurance: israelies or russians, they are crazy
can't think of any other categories atm.

This thread is full of stupid.

In Eastern Gonghordistan the special forces have to sit naked on ant nests for 10 years! Those with the least amount of bites are chosens in the end. They are clearly the most elite special forces.

Do you get my point?

There is no doubt that Russian special forces go through the most grueling training regimen, but every operation they had so far has shown only one thing- that theyre good at killing people.

However every operation they had also shows that their tactical command is the worst in the world and probably loses out to tactical units of most police departments out there.

JTF2 from what I heard are very elite, up there with the Seals and SAS I do believe.
Somewhere, something amazing is waiting to be known.

Take your pick from Mossad, Spetznaz, SAS, Seals/ Delta...

Personally I think SAS are the hardest because most of them are Scottish and Scottish people are nutters. But then again Mossad have epic H2H combat skills and tactics. Spetznaz are hardcore. Also I hear the French Foreign Legion is pretty badass.

I did my one year conscription in Norway at Forsvarets Spesialkommando (FSK), which is the elite anti-terror military branch in the Norwegian Army. Without going into detail, from what I saw and from what I experienced I got the impression that the guys who were 'spesialjegere' (elite operators) were extremely competent and confident in what they were doing. Of course, I have no way of comparing their capabilities to others though. If I were to say one group that is the most elite my vote would go to 1st SFOD-D, Delta Force.
