I always heard that NZ's SAS is one of the most potent SAS branch, extremely respected by the other SAS branches. I don't know if it's true or not, and since I live in NZ it could just be our side of story.

Delta Force and Navy Seal's talk a lot of shit about each other. In the USA, it's all about bragging rights, like who blew some hodge in the head with a 50 cal to who took down Osama.

I don't have much knowledge or information about the other countries out the USA.

My opinion everyones a bad mother f*cker.

Back in highschool my PIG(participation in government) teacher told the class a story about his time in the Israeli Defense Forces. Due to the amount of terrorism he explained their methods of interrogation were always scrappy and at times, a bit unorthodox to say the least.

They were once trying to pry information from a terrorist, about planned bombings. Turns out a good way to do that is dangle them from their feet, out of a helicopter.

I'd chalk that up as pure badassness

I just started watching Nikita (such a guilty pleasure series lul), has anyone said "Division" yet?

Navy SEALs are pretty badass imo.

In all likelihood a unit whose name nobody knows and whose existence will never be known unless there's a really big fuck up.

Was thinking the same thing:D To be known to the public must mean theyve failed and/or operate sorta under the rules of society. A true elite stealth unit would only be known to a very select few people. Ahh delicious conspiricy theories:D

Of the known ones id have to go with Seal team 6, insane selection process (US has more possible condidates then most other teams). Also probobly much higher budget then other countries.

From what I've read about special forces, the US would win most "special forces fights" simply because they have the most funding, and hence, the best equipment and training possible to have. It's not exactly realistic to say who is really "better", because most of them train with other countries special forces units, and learn from each other to a very large extent. So, really, it comes down to equipment, and the US wins hands down there, because we love throwing absurd amounts of money at our military.

A group noone is talking about is the US Delta Force though. They aren't very well known, but they are at least at Navy Seal quality, if not better.

Depends on the job they are doing. I think it's safe to say Navy SEALS are the best jack of all trades-esque Special Forces Unit out there. It really depends on what is needed to be done on who is the "best"

Not to mention, when it comes to these types of units -- a lot are so equally trained, it comes down to the individual.

one of them yes.

Also Osama was a 54 year old guy hiding in a house with only woman and a few body guards, any team could have taken him out.
It's the Intel and work beforehand wich is way more impressive then pop a bullet in the head of an old man while jumping through a window.

Well see, this is good. This thread is serving it's purpose. I've never even heard of BOPE before now.

Thanks for that


If you're interested to see a "cinematic" but still realistic scenario of BOPE:

Both great movies.

Yes.

There are some of those in each nation I believe. There are rumours of inside the brazilian army of a SF group that operates undercover in Amazonia rainforest and other borderlands, also before BOPE getting inside the favelas, the SF goes first and "open" it for the BOPE.

No one can confirm if it is true or not, no one ever will.

Its a pretty pointless to compare the different elite special forces units of different nations since all of them have their members trained to probably peak human ability levels. In the end, the effectiveness of any unit is determined by logistics/information, etc. Might as well just say that they are all about even.

Pretty much this. Impossible to compare them. I mean some forces are specialized in arctic conditions, some in deserts and others in naval/water related missions, others are allround.

But I feel that Selous Scouts should have a mention even if they dont exist anymore. They pulled some really badass missions and were pretty hardcore in their training/selection too.
