if being honest....the best elite special unit in the world is the one you don't know about

[grandporter]

Did you know that the guy who created the US Seals failed the SAS training course.

[fallenangelsairsoft]

BRO. He fr put Navy seals over the SAS and failed to mention US Delta force. This is bull

[johnparsons]

I have nothing but respect for these Men

[PhilippGlaß]

The GSG9 is not a special force. It is merely a specialized unit of the Federal Police. The special force of Germany is the KSK not the GSG9. Everyone is doing it wrong. It sucks so hard man that nobody is doing it right.

Missed off the SBS and the Royal Gurkha Rifles....

"If a man says he is not afraid of dying, he is either lying or is a Gurkha."  ​

Delta force(US), Marcos(India), alpha group(russia) are best of elite forces which you have not mentioned in your list

[Analternateperspective]

Not accurate.
No special forces list can be complete without Marcos, Para SF, and NSG (you got this one, but missed the other 2).

These units are exceptional in their performance and their dedication and bravery deserve recognition. I would also like to acknowledge the Sri Lankan Special Forces Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol (LRRP) teams and Commandos for their exceptional efforts. While it is true that they may not have access to the same technological luxuries as other countries, the LRRP and Commandos successfully eliminated the greatest guerilla group, the LTTE, which the world had ever seen. The LTTE was notorious for introducing suicide bombers to the modern world, and had a navy and air force. Their tactics were ruthless. Despite operating in LTTE-controlled jungles, the Sri Lankan Special Forces and Commandos worked tirelessly in small groups of 4 or 8 men for months at a time. Therefore, I strongly believe that the LRRP of the Sri Lankan Army Special Forces and the Sri Lankan Army Commandos should be given special recognition.

Do a top 15 about top military groups during WWII. That would be interesting to watch.

Nice rundown of the already known SF. The US have “Group / Delta” that are by far way more elite than the seal teams . UK also have their unknowns “increment / E Squadron” and other unknowns . Most if not all have their origins developed from the UK SAS which has by far the most respected and gruelling selection process in the world which looks at the individual candidate in microscopic detail .

You omitted the SBS and the Delta force, the seals are about the same as our Royal Marines.

[Simple_mechanic_guy]

"French foreign legion" is NOT a special force.
It's a complete branch of French army.

[ericr]

Your Seal history is light, my great uncle Freddy was a WW2 US Navy UDT 'frogman' the I original proto- seals. The stories I heard growing up in the 60's. Badass then & now.

[lidiagaray]

This was amazing 👏🏽. I appreciate all the hard work and research that it takes to make a video like this. Im never disappointed with this awesome channel ❤

[gisellebryan]

Very interesting and educational content good work 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹

[seviomari]

Just good on paper through rumours, the one you don't know about are the best. Just FACTS.

[bellzeppelin]

Most of special forces in this list have no war experience lol

[michaelrollins]

The entire United States military every branch is special forces unit to me and they're unmatched. GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES AND OUR TROOPS!!! Spec ops and regular enlisted men.

[operatorone]

The SAS are the best known Elite force in the world. Known to have the toughest training regime and have trained others. A lone SAS soldier rescued many from a terror attack in a Kenyan Hotel.
