In today’s world, there is absolutely no country that does not have special operations forces that are sent to the extremely dangerous and difficult situation! The special units are “graced” with a cool head in difficult and stressful situations. Difficult and stressful training definitely rank them among the best.
The execution of diversions and sabotages behind enemy lines is their specialization. Special operations forces are powerful, dangerous, brave state heroes, and important state decisions depend on them. They do what no one can, and many do not want.
Special Air Service (SAS)
According to some analyzes, the first place on the list of best special operations forces is reserved by the British SAS operators. For joining this special unit, candidates or future members are required to be experts in handling weapons, explosives and explosive devices, excellent swimmers and divers, parachutists, capable of surviving in nature for a long time, to be trained in first aid and self-help, and speak the excellent language of the country they are going to.
Handling different types of weapons, tactical procedures in sabotage actions, the study of means of communication, medical care, training courses, parachute, and survival in nature courses are the most important elements of training of future specials. The real picture of what they are going through the training says that only 20 percent of candidates complete special units training of the British SAS, which stands for Special Air Service.
Seal Team 6 / DEVGRU
Today, when wars are conducted in many countries, the ability of these units is most conspicuous, and these are the best and most known special units. Naval commandos of the United States Navy known by the name “SEALs” or “Navy SEALs” took the second place. The killing of the most wanted terrorist Osama bin Laden will probably remain the best and most celebrated action of all time. Their slogan is “No pain, no gain” or translated “no pain, no success”, while others say that passing the selection and training of the “Navy SEALs” is heavier and harder than the climb to Mount Everest. Training is so hard that between 55 and 60 percent of candidates waste during the training, which, in principle, most occur from the Navy and Marines, mostly from their special forces.
Shayetet 13
The Israeli unit Shayetet 13 is consists of the top 200 commandos and several hundred reservists and acquired the epithet probably the best anti-terrorist forces in the world.

This special unit was most evident during the Vietnam War. Most frequently they performed rescue operations of American soldiers and pilots from many prison camps deep in the jungle. They travel in the mission in groups of 12 people. Since its establishment until today, their technology and strategy have greatly improved.
Today they carried out anti-terrorist actions around the world, conduct unconventional warfare, guerrilla training, training the army and police in emergency situations, conduct direct action, rescue people, destroy the enemy’s weapons, buildings, soldiers, etc.

Commandos are carefully selected and extremely prepared for a variety of tasks, including missions on land, away from the water. In addition to traditional naval operations, such as surveillance, reconnaissance, and destruction of marine installations and ships, Takavaran special units are capable of missions in small teams, diversion or liquidation, as well as the capture of prisoners or release of the hostages.
The method of training for this special unit is designed by former members of Soviet Spetsnaz units, as well as Germany’s KSK special naval units (also former members). The training lasts for twelve months. Candidates must pass rigorous physical tests, and then training begins.
