    While on active duty, I worked at the us army airborne school in a support role. Through this I was able to meet several members of the us special forces, delta and even the SAS. Just being in their presence, you can tell these guys were the cream of the crop. Scary thing was they don’t “look” any different than other soldiers but the way they carried themselves told you they were on a superhuman level.

  • So much wrong with this list. Not differentiating between SEALS and DEVGRU, placing Tier 2 SEALS above Delta Force, showing mostly Ranger and regular Army footage in the Delta segment, SMDH
  • @joshgoss2946
    You do realize that Delta force is chosen from army rangers, navy seals,and Marine force recon
  • @Sjulemand
    Kinda surprised that the Danish Frog Men is not on here.

    This is like Atlas from Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
  • You should consider including the Philippine Scout Rangers. They are battle-hardened for many years. You cannot graduate from this training unless you complete the final test mission.
  • So Austrian police special forces is ahead of the SBS, who for the past 20+ years have been continuously conducting CT ops?
  • US Delta Force is probably the most underrated Special Forces, they are the best the US has to offer, on par or better than Seal Team 6/ DEVGRU. I’m pretty sure you have to be asked to join and they are often involved in clandestine intelligence operations, assassinations, and are dropped into enemy territory for months at a time with little to now backup or support.

    Pjs (Air force para rescue) should get and honorable mention
  • @jwiese100
    I think this list is more about mentioning the various elite special forces around the world rather then actually ranking them
  • @zakirstocks9514
    These Super Special Elite Forces know what they are doing. No wonder they're calling themselves Badass Special Elite Forces
  • @jemulz12
    Having the Seals over delta shows how little research they did for this video
  • @ctilson176
    When comparing Delta and DEVGRU, it’s important to note that Delta recruits from all branches of the U.S. armed forces. That means there are different experiences combined into one insanely elite fighting force where as DEVGRU only recruits from the SEAL teams. And as I once heard from a former Delta operator, there are SEALS that go Delta, never the opposite.

    Thank you for the update, WatchMojo..!! Amazing special forces. I hope there is no more wars though..
  • @isaacdebord7812
    If you're claim to fame is we have the most civilian casualties while operating maybe you are not a good special forces unit
