US Army Delta Force

Delta Force was formed in the 1970s by U.S Army Colonel Charles Beckwith in response to many, well-publicized terrorist incidents during that decade. It is one of the most secretive forces in the United States modeled after the establishment of British SAS. Primarily, it was tasked with counter-terrorism, direct action and national intervention operations; it has become a strongest special operation unit that is no more limited to hostage rescues and raids. Delta Force soldiers are specially trained for a dangerous and volatile scenarios, which is unmatched and above many forces.

Israeli Shayetet 13

Israel’s naval Special Forces unit, Shayatet 13 specializes in counter-terrorism, hostage rescue, sabotage, sea-to-land assaults and maritime intelligence. The group, Shayatet 13, is considered to be one of the strongest Special Forces units in the world. This highly trained group is always compared to USA’s Navy SEALs and the Britain’s SAS and SBS (Special Boat Service) and also holds a resemblance to the US Army Delta Force. The elite commando group was established in 1948 and since then the group has been a part of almost all major Israeli war.
