Gotta go with the Mossad's Sayeret Matkal

These guys are feared around the world, they train other international spec ops forces, and then there's Operation Entebbe

I know the Canadian contingent of special forces is called the "JTF2" Joint Task Force though i'm not in any position to say which unit is the best.
****EDIT***** Guy above me posted exact same wiki link lol
+ Show Spoiler +
Here's a wiki link : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Task_Force_2


In my opinion the scarriest units out there we probabl have never heard of just because they're so secret.

I'm going to say British SAS, end of story. They see so much action, they we're the first as both special forces unit and counter terrorist unit. They revolutionized the tactics used in these areas, their qualifications are very high and I don't have access to their mission logs obviously but I know they've done a ton of missions by watching alot of TV.

If none of you know who the BOPE are from Brazil I highly suggest you watch "Tropa De Elite." It's a softer story of the how the BOPE operates in Rio.

I would suggest the U.S Army Delta Force. They are the elite of the elite in the U.S Army. There are roughly only 1200 of these combat soldiers and they are known to work with the CIA and the U.S Security Council.

The most experience unit may be BOPE. And in Special Forces the technology although it helps, its not the top priority. intelligence and ability to preform a certain job is more important.

They dont? Then what are the Russian special forces now adays? For some reason i still think they exist. I watched an episode of that deadliest warrior show where they had an ex-spetznaz person on there and it showed some of the shit they got put through during training. It is intense. Those guys are insanely hardened.

Whats the source on them no longer existing O.o But for real, i would never want to go toe to toe with someone that has that training. They are trained to be immune to pain, crazy stuff.

Read a book a while back about special forces. It had done extensive research into several different SF from different countries, but I imagine it wasn't entirely objective considering the author used to be one. At any case, he considered British SaS to be nr 1, with FSK (Norway) in second mostly due to founding and small numbers. The Navy Seals weren't even on the list.

Spetznaz was pretty badass in their days, but they don't exist anymore.

Delta force, btw, is not special forces. They are a specially trained army unit. They work as an army, not as small numbered commando teams.

By "BOPE" and "brazil" you mean 9 completely independent elite units of nine different states. Brazil is a country that has 26 states and each state has its own elite police unit named differently.
Also, the favelas they infiltrate are pretty much restricted to the city of Rio de Janeiro.
Rio's BOPE was put in a spotlight because the "Tropa de Elite" movies. Like the movie portrays (and as someone mentioned above me) they are guilty of several Human Rights violations, so I wouldn't praise them too much.
As their role in keeping drug cartels in check, in their "favela occupations" and "infiltrations", I am sadly sure it is just a superficial and theatrical way to hide a problem that has much more complex reasons and solutions.

Yeah, right. They are also known for being one of the greatest crew of murderers of all democratic nation's security forces.

But if "Elite" is about killing a lot of people, having action like in a video game and having "badass" uniforms with skulls and everything, yeah, they fit the description.

Pity that for internet youth, "having balls of steal" and being a brutal murderer basically mean the same thing.


That's how it works in here. We don't have the time and the money to make a clean cut. We don't have enough qualified men and equipment to make a clean cut, so our forces need to instill fear. They need to make the drug lords KNOW that if one of our BOPE guys is killed shit will go down 100%.

So true, and BOPE is a small force. They only select a few that are remaining when training is finished. On top of that a lot of Civil Police in Brasil are corrupt because the pay is shit, and BOPE hates corrupt cops so that makes their pool smaller. Which brings me to another point, they aren't military, they are an extension of the Civil Police which don't get paid very well and lack funding. They have to instill fear in the Drug Dealers otherwise Brasil would b like Mexico. And we all know what happens when the Police in Mexico try to crack down on the Cartels, they die. So, these guys are true Policemen that really want to make Brasil a better place and will do what is needed to protect it. If they have to kill some scumbags in the process why the hell not? I mean the United States killed over 1,000 people so they can take Iraq's oil.

edit: got my facts wrong there, BOPE is military but groups like the GOA are Civil..

Shayetet 13 is very overlooked. They probably see the most missions and field warfare than any other force as of recent times...they're also trained in full martial arts. However, I'm pretty sure the British SAS is still the most trained and elite, they receive everything the SEALs do, with the extra counter-espionage training the Secret Service offers.

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

Dangling people from the feet from a helicopter is pure badassness.

God, and you vote.

Right. I'm sure if you lived in a favela, you would be thinking the same. Amnesty report shows interview of people who are more scared by this bunch of excited fascist psychopath idiots than by the narco themselves.

New rule for this thread: you're not allowed to state a special forces group that comes from your own country. It needs to be what you think is the best from another country (so much bias in this thread lol).

I'd have to go with Mossad.
