We all know that special forces generally insist on a certain sense of mystery. The selected players are all selected through layer-by-layer selection and extreme exercise, and the combat tasks they perform are basically "face-to-face" combat actions with hostile elements.
The reason why the above three special forces will become the fiercest forces in the world is mainly because they have experienced many combat operations and have rich practical experience.
The first is the British Special Air Service Corps (SAS)
As the first special operations force in the world, the British Special Air Service Corps was established as early as World War II, and has experienced many special operations missions such as desert war, hostage rescue war and anti-terrorism war. Although his total strength is only about 900, they are all elite soldiers selected from all over Britain. Even the most difficult part of the US Navy SEAL 6 and the China Hong Kong Flying Tigers' exercise is the exercise method created by the British Special Air Service.
The battle to make the British special air service group famous in the world is nothing more than the hostage rescue of the Iranian embassy. 1980, six members of the Iranian Arab Stan Liberation Democratic Reaction Front suddenly occupied the Iranian Embassy in London and took 26 people hostage. After the militants killed a hostage, the British couldn't bear it anymore and sent an unknown special air crew to participate in the war.
It took only 1 1 minute for the British Special Air Service Corps to break through the window from the roof, killing several militants and successfully rescuing the hostages. This form of special operations made SAS famous from then on. For example, Delta Force in the United States, the Australian Special Air Corps and the Canadian Special Air Corps all learn from the British SAS, which has become the object of emulation by many countries.
The second is the U.S navy seal team 6 (DEVGRU).
SEAL 6 was founded in 1980, belonging to the US Navy, but its task is to rescue hostages and hunt down fear organizations, the most famous of which is to catch the global fear tycoon bin Laden.
On 20 1 1 year, Seal Team 6 launched the operation code-named "Poseidon Spear" and went to Pakistan to find the Al Qaeda man bin Laden. This is the purpose that the United States has been trying to seize since it launched the Afghan war on 200 1 to avenge "9. 1 1".
After all, it is not so easy for the United States to find a missing bin Laden in the strange Aba border and mountainous areas. You know, the United States has repeatedly let bin Laden escape by relying on advanced radar detection technology, satellite positioning technology and advanced weapons.
Now that SEAL Team 6 can kill bin Laden, it is enough to prove his superior combat effectiveness.
The third is the Russian Alpha Group.
The Alpha Group established by the Soviet Union in 1970s became a sharp knife for the Soviet Union and even Russia to fight terrorism. It is called Alpha Team, because the number of anti-terrorist forces is very small, only about 250 people, almost two companies.
Since its establishment, Alpha Team has successfully handled many sudden anti-terrorism incidents, with a winning rate higher than that of the Delta Special Forces of the US military. For example, in 1983, terrorists hijacked a Tu-154 passenger plane in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, a Soviet Republic, and took 57 passengers as hostages. In this case, terrorists can easily use hostages to blackmail the Soviet Union. Unexpectedly, as soon as the Alpha team came out, it successfully lifted the threat and rescued the hostages without being hurt.
In addition, there are actions against anti-government armed forces such as the Chechen war, as well as Alpha troops. Russia has alpha troops, which can fully cope with any unexpected situation, and its ability to fight alone and in coordination is very strong.
The above three special forces are world-famous special forces, and they are all forces with real actual combat experience.
Some people say that Delta Force is one of them. Yes, Delta Force is indeed the most well-trained, well-equipped and well-funded special forces in the world today, and has successfully performed many tasks, such as "emergency violence" in invasion of grenada and "desert shield" in the Gulf War. But he also made many mistakes.
1980, Delta Force's "Operation Eagle Claw" to rescue the hostages of the American Embassy in Iran was a complete failure. In addition, the American flight was hijacked to Algeria on 1985, resulting in the death of an American sailor ... Delta Force's record is not as good as that of Seal 6.
Mistakes are the biggest taboo of special operations forces. In the final analysis, Kung Fu is not at home.
As for China's most fierce anti-terrorism knives-Falcon Commando and Snow Leopard Commando, they have little actual combat experience, and usually rely on actual combat exercises to improve their anti-terrorism ability. If there is an emergency, no one can guarantee that they will be able to handle it after all, but there is still a certain gap compared with SEALs and Alpha Team.
