in the world!

Australian SAS There’s a reason why the Australian SAS
is considered as one of the best Special Forces in the world – they have the highest fail
rate in their brutal test course, and soldiers from this unit are known to be very efficient
in the battlefield.
It’s actually surprising that there are more deaths in this elite group’s training
course compared to actual combat.
They were even called as “the phantoms of the jungle” during the Vietnam War.
Polish GROM The Polish GROM is an elite group of individuals
specialized in counter-terrorism.
GROM stands for Grupa Reagowania Operacyjno-Manewrowego, or in English terms, the Operational maneuvering
Response Group.
While the group has only been around since 1990, it’s been considered as one of the
best around the world – in fact, many people even say that they are in the same league
as the British SAS.
The Special Boat Service Unlike the Polish GROM, the Special Boat Service
has been around since 1940.
They have performed operations during World War II, the Korean War, the Persian War, and
the Libyan Civil War.
While the individuals in this group also go through the selection and training process
of the SAS, the Special Boat Service is considered as a part of the Royal Marines.
Shayetet 13 The Shayetet 13, like the Special Boat Service,
is a Special Forces unit associated with the navy.
It’s a part of Israel’s military forces, which was formed in 1948.
Over the years, they have engaged in various conflicts, including the wars in Lebanon,
and the Gaza War.
Soldiers who want to join this elite group undergo its brutal 20-month training process.
Green Berets The Green Berets started its operations in
1952, specializing in unconventional warfare, defense, counter-terrorism, humanitarian assistance,
hostage rescue, and more.
Since the soldiers of this elite group have to work overseas most of the time, trainees
are required to learn different languages.
After training for months, soldiers train more for specialized skills such as sniping
and parachuting.
Delta Force Of all the Special Forces in this list, this
group is definitely the most popular.
It’s the one of the most powerful units of the United States army, engaging in many
conflicts since its founding in 1977.
Training to become a Delta Force soldier is brutal – hundreds of applicants fail in
its selection process, like having only 10 applicants after the initial screening.
Indian MARCOS Force The Indian Marcos Forces have undergone many
name changes, from Marina Commandos, to Marine Commando Force, and now, MARCOS, is still
considered as the most elite Special Forces unit in the Indian Navy.
Compared to most elite group in this list, MARCOS is probably the youngest, starting
its first operations in 1987.
Still, they are one of the most feared soldiers on the field.
Russian Spetnaz In English, the word Spetnaz translates to
Special Purpose Military Units – this word is also used to refer to the Special Forces
units in Russia.
There are many Spetnaz units based in Russia, with some related to Naval Special Operations,
and others, associated with Russian Ground Forces.
Almost all of the operations of this elite group are kept in secret, but most of us know
that they were involved in the Soviet War and the Second Chechen War.
Navy Seals The Navy Seals is the best Special Forces
unit the United States has to offer.
SEAL, stands for “Sea”, “Air”, and “Land”, and these are the areas where
Navy Seals operatives are trained to work in.
This elite group has been around since 1962, with known deployments in the Vietnam War,
the Somali Civil War, and of course, the war in Afghanistan.
One of the most well-known successes of this unit is the capture and killing of Osama bin
Laden.
British SAS How good is the British SAS?
Well, if they can’t handle the situation, we’re all doomed!
That’s how good the British SAS is.
In fact, most of the Special Forces units around the world base their military structure
in this elite group.
They are trained like the Navy Seals, but they undergo special counter-espionage training
from the MI-5 and MI-6.
So, how deadly are they?
Think about this – during World War II, the SAS suffered more than 300 casualties,
but in return, they had killed more almost 8,000 enemies and captured more than 20,000
of them.
