it’s time to lock and load but should
you fail your mission we reserve the
right to disavow all knowledge of your
enjoyment of this video welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
elite Special Forces units
for this list we’ll be looking at some
of the deadliest and clandestine
military units that specialize in
high-risk operations such as
infiltration hostage rescue and
reconnaissance
number 10 G IGN national Jean Dalma the
intervention group France after the
deadly terrorist attack at the 1972
Olympics in Munich France assembled an
elite squad team designed to
specifically deal with hostage
situations but whose expertise has since
broadened and scope with approximately
380 operatives each member undergoes a
rigorous training period of 14 months
that is comprised of weapons training
airborne insertion and survival skills
in almost any environment the GI GN also
has some of the best shooting skills in
the world producing some of the most
skilled long-range marksmen in the field
today although their operations are
largely classified the successful rescue
of 166 hostages from a hijack Air France
flight in 1994 solidified the G ign’s
reputation for tactical Perales as the
GI GN entered a gun battle ensued at a
distance of only 5 feet the muzzle
flashes can be seen in this footage
through the cockpit window number 9 JW
gr om Poland when Poland sends in their
Special Forces they bring the Thunder
quite literally – since that’s what Grom
means in several Slavic languages after
a couple of unsuccessful proposals the
Polish government finally agreed to form
a counterterrorism unit in 1990
following the takeover of one of their
embassies in Switzerland as well as the
shooting deaths of two Polish diplomats
in Beirut modeled after and trained by
some of the most elite forces in the
world such as Delta Force and D SAS this
group of soldiers specializes in
creating havoc behind enemy lines along
with severely disrupting terrorist
activity apart from being expert killers
three-quarters of the grom are trained
medics because the best defense is a
good offense
number eight sorry at Matkal Israel this
top-secret branch of the Israeli Defense
Force specializes in deep reconnaissance
and intelligence gathering techniques it
is closely modeled after the British SAS
going so far as to even borrow their
motto who dares wins after completing a
rigorous and exhausting selection
process recruits undergo approximately a
year and a half’s worth of training
including counterterrorism parachuting
and multiple forms of combat such as
Krav Maga a brutal style of self-defense
that was created by the IDF itself
unlike Israel’s naval commandos shiet at
13 satya Matkal is primarily a strategic
unit whose missions are meticulously
planned and are so secretive that
they’re not allowed to wear their
insignia in public because plausible
deniability is the name of the game
Israeli soldiers killed the guards they
busted into the hangar the hospitals
were they killed all the terrorists and
they got all the hostages and flew out
number 7 Special Services Group Pakistan
consisting of roughly 5,600 soldiers the
SSG has been active since 1956 and has
been the main special operations unit of
Pakistan’s army training of its members
is heavily focused on physical
preparation with only a small percentage
of hopeful recruits making it through
the process they have conducted
exercises with elite forces from the
United States Turkey as well as China
refining techniques in mounted warfare
and are also regarded as having one of
the toughest combat diving courses in
the world being in such close proximity
to Afghanistan this unit has been a key
player in the war on terror and is
credited as being responsible for the
death of the global operations chief of
al-qaeda number six Special Air Service
regiment Australia
yet another group copied after the
training and selection process of the
British SAS Australian Special Forces
breed some of the deadliest warriors on
the battlefield the main focus of this
regiment is counterterrorism
peacekeeping as well as calling domestic
situations recruits are hand-picked from
within the military then weed it out
during an intense three-week course
where prospective trainees are subjected
to a battery of physical and mental
evaluations smaller reconnaissance
squads skilled and evasion tactics allow
them to slip in and out of enemy
territory to gather intelligence and are
used to paint targets for surgical air
strikes these guys can snatch up
high-value personnel or blow up
airfields faster than a dingo can eat a
baby I’m sorry a dingo H baby you know
that’s the true story lady lost kid
number five jtf2 Joint Task Force to
Canada
Oh Canada who even knew you had a team
of special forces probably not many
because apparently it’s mandated by the
government to never mention their
existence but not only do they exist
they are also considered to be one of
the most elite forces operating in the
world today active since 1993 there is
little known about this highly
classified unit but they have played
instrumental roles in arenas worldwide
such as Libya Haiti and Afghanistan
their involvement in the rescue of three
peacekeepers in Iraq was lauded by
British and US officials apart from
acting as bodyguards to military and
government executives traveling outside
of the country they also helped secure
facilities during the 2010 Winter
Olympics number for Delta Force USA
officially known as the first special
forces operational detachment-delta it’s
almost impossible for a list like this
not to include these bad boys
established in 1977 this group of
operatives excels at missions involving
counterterrorism hostage rescue and
reconnaissance like most other Special
Forces members are chosen from within
the military and the percentage of those
who actually pass remains incredibly low
and my two classes of 120 people each
probably 12 to 14 made it 90% of our
best soldiers can’t make it through
selection however what’s successful
further vetting from the CIA can result
in Delta operators inducted into even
more highly covert units I don’t really
know what they’re looking for because
that’s a secret although most of their
operations are classified their
involvement has become known during
Operation Desert Storm as well as
operation gothic serpent which was made
famous in Ridley Scott’s Black Hawk Down
number three alpha group Russia if
there’s one thing to learn from history
it’s never to underestimate the Russian
military like ever while little is known
about what exactly alpha group’s primary
objectives are their scope has extended
over the years from strictly domestic
missions to include those abroad we also
know that no matter where they operate
it would appear collateral damage is not
of the highest concern
whether it be assassinating a young boy
while forcing a regime change in
Afghanistan or dozens of hostages being
killed during a botched rescue attempt
on home soil alpha will get the job done
even if they have to level an entire
city block in the process hey you know
what they say about eggs and omelettes
right
[Music]
number two Navy SEALs USA unlike their
Delta brothers this team of soldiers is
widely acknowledged by the military and
praised for their superior tactics in
sea air and land
hence seal so huge yep sea air and land
trainees must undergo the trials and
tribulations of the infamous hell week a
six-day endurance course where hopeful
candidates undertake a series of
grueling challenges all while operating
on less than four hours of sleep sail
groups are broken up into teams of 1 to
5 and 7 to 10 respectively with the
specially designated team 6 being the
best of the past requiring even more
training than regular members these are
the guys responsible for killing Osama
Bin Ladin and rescuing Tom Hanks we mean
captain Phillips from Somali pirates in
the Indian Ocean execute before we come
to our top pick here are a few honorable
mentions there’s no thanks in this line
of work
don’t come here expecting someone to say
thank you so much for what you’re doing
you’ll get that from civilians walk on
the side of the road just be in the
military
[Music]
number one Special Air Service SAS
United Kingdom
consider the best in the world there is
a reason so many other countries have
used these guys as a template for their
own branch of Special Forces for example
their endurance test is a notorious race
against time
where troops traverse 40 miles in full
gear over a mountain in 20 hours before
having to run four miles in three
minutes and then swim two miles in under
90 minutes although it’s becoming harder
to distinguish between the SAS and the
SBS which stands for special boat
service the latter’s diverse nature and
additional training makes them better
equipped to handle a wider variety of
situations and despite being active
since World War two they’re storming of
an Iranian embassy in 1980 was what
brought the regiment worldwide
recognition do you agree with our list
