Top 10 Special Forces in the World

Special Forces specialize in counter-terrorism, reconnaissance, and sabotage and have the honor of being the most elite among the forces. They undergo extremely rigorous training for years sometimes, before they are ready and when they are done with the training, they can be easily classified as among the toughest and most competent men in the military. Today, we take a look at the best Special Forces from around the world.

No 10. Spetsnaz

Spetsnaz is a general term for “special forces” in Russian. They are the equivalent of US Green Berets and instead of undergoing regular training like the other special forces around the world, the Spetsnaz endure pain through punishment daily throughout their training.

The Spetsnaz injure each other, breaking ribs, fingers and vertebrae to heal later on, only to get punished even further. They claim that pain can’t be avoided, so they are taught to enjoy it.

No 9. French Naval Commandos

The French Naval Commandos consists of approximately 500 members. They are called the bérets verts, meaning Green Berets. Having one the toughest training in the world, the Naval commandos were formed during World War II.

The Naval Commandos consist of 6 units: Hubert, Trepel, de Montfort, de Penfentenyo, Jaubert, and Kieffer. Each unit is trained for specific tasks such as sea combat, exfiltration, canine units, or long range fire support.

    What we need to look at is the state of mental and physical preparedness, courage and commitment. Comparing the western special forces having the edge of body armour, the weaponry, the technological support and the back up with the pakistani, indian or sri lankan forces who dont have such facilities available and yet perform remarkable feats of bravery, makes it sure that special forces of this region are by far the superior than any force in the world; give the SAS, Seals or any other western an assault rifle, pistol, dagger and some food and ask for a successful operation. They will laugh at you and then start crying!!!

    Our forces, on the contrary, do this!!!

    so the real list is:

    Pakistan SSG
    Sri Lankan Special Forces
    Indian Special Forces

    You can add any forces after these 3 on top, as per your likes!!!

  2. Georg Orterer says:

    You forgot one… The German “Gebirgsjäger”, most of the Nato – Members send their Special – Forces to them for a special training, called “Winterkampfschule”.
    I think, only the best can train the best, or???

  3. Obama says:

    Ninjas are trained when their still a baby, learn to walk on water, disappear in shadows, stick on walls, throw super accurate and deadly shurikens, and has a sword that cut through steel.

  4. Adil says:

    Fake Rating, where are the SSG’s of Pakistan. The most deadliest and hard one’s all over the world. huh!

  5. kalash says:

    no unit does it better than th Russian SPETSNAZ

  6. SSG the best, even recently achieved honour of being world’s best comondos………

  7. Jeppi says:

    Addas Hassan, you’ve apparently not read a lot about the western special forces.

  8. Chris says:

    Who do you think trained SSG? Why do your think no one knows of them for a reason. SaS and SEALS are world renowned and feared for a reason

  9. rabie says:

    seak team 6 is the best

  10. jovanie says:

    What about the Philippine Army Scout Ranger

  11. adi says:

    the best is indias nsg

  12. dos says:

    canadian JTF2 are by far the best. They proved it in nato special force competition many times. They win 1e or 2e place with the british SAS.

  13. Santoro says:

    The bravest fighter are God-fearing Muslims kids, women who dare become “suicide bombers”, no other special forces units dare tie bombs to their waist and die for God. Amazing, but sad that they have to sacrifice themselves for some distorted beliefs / idealogy.

  14. Yusuf Bilali says:

    KenyaLs Elite Special Forces/Recce should be on this list…badass! We’ve the least but we run with the best! HUA

  15. Yusuf Bilali says:

    Kenya’s Elite Special Forces/Recce should be on this list…badass! We’ve the least but we run with the best! HUA

  16. haider says:

    pakistan ssg is the best in training they are not good in weapons but training is all it needs

  17. A.P.A says:

    how about Indonesia’s KOPASSUS? they were being one of world’s best army

  18. predatorVMT says:

    you forget Viet Nam sappers.

  19. commando says:

    This list is biased. When you look at a commando you are looking for a certain type of a soldier who is special in a way and his abilities way high above the other soldiers. A soldier who has exceptional mental, physical and intelligence stregnths. One who has extremely high standards in getting any task fulfiled in any enviroment globally, be it paratrooping, reconaissance or direct enemy engagement. Even razor sharp when in combat and can change the game within a short period of time. This is the list:

    1. British Special Air Service (the mother and father of special warfare).
    2. Israeli sayeret matkal.
    3. Rhodesian selous scouts.
    4. Australian Special Air Service.
    5. US Navy Seals,
    6. Zimbabwean special Air Service.
    7. Newzealand special Air Service.
    8. Israeli naval commando
    9. Zimbabwean commando.
    10. Russian spetznatz.
    A top special forces commando must be razor sharp and lethal even unarmed. US forces rely more on technology so I don’t rank them the best. But I rank the best soldier ro be one who can still be razor sharp and effective even without technology. The saying goes on; take off the technology from a seal and he is an ordinary soldier!
