just wanted to say that the effort you invested in inserting that RAID ad was clearly apparent.. i wish every sponsorship/ad was equally as polished and creative -- they'd be a lot more interesting to sit through. that's all, just wanted to give you a little feedback, since i figured very few people give feedback on stuff like ad reads/video sponsorships/etc.
Served with 22 and 21 in the early 80"s. 21 was a lot of spies in training, great people. We worked with Delta a lot. Strangely enough they were listed as a logistic unit in US . Pretty smart hiding. Anyway superb units with commitment. Was proud to work with all.
Hello mate, you’ll know who the late Lt Col of 22 at the time then? What squadron were you in and what troop? (Troop Number not description) We may know similar people?
Delta only exists because Charles Beckwith came on secondment to 22SAS and realised America needed the same capabilities. Since then happily, both have shared discoveries, training together and continue to cross-pollinatie. Each also contine to serve tours with the other. As Task Force Black shows, they are fearsome when combined.
Какая разница кто был родоначальником, важно то что какая сила на данный момент лучше. Дельта сейчас вне конкуренции в плане боевого опыта, программы тренировки, системы сил специальных операций и финансирования.
Great comment, makes total sense with it's accuracy. And yes, I have actually witnessed how fearsome these cross-over joint units can be... Delta+SAS=Death For Any Enemy.
One of my uncles was SAS in WWII. He was in the build up after the North Africa Campaign. After the war, as you mentioned, the Battalion was disbanded and he was accept into the Canadian Army and served over thirty-five years combined. The stories I heard running beer for my uncles. Yowza. As far as one over the other, that's a fool's dilemma. If either group has your name in their pocket, not even God can save you. And if *BOTH* have your name, God has had enough of your shit and has revoked your birth certificate, effective immediately.
We're essentially talking about units made up of the same caliber of men who happen to wear different uniforms and fight under different flags. Regardless of the current mission set/focus, if the need were to arise either of these forces are more than capable of adapting to meet whatever threat emerges.
to say theyre 'the same calibre' is being extremely generous to delta force lmao, a good 70% wouldn't pass selection for the SAS, the SAS has years where literally nobody makes it im not downplaying how tought Delta Force are, but Delta Force have Hell Week... The SAS have 6 Months of 'Hell Week'
@carlmanning3384 Hell Week is for SEALs, not Delta. If there was as high a disparity in the capability of the two units, they probably wouldn't be doing the officer exchange program that has existed for decades. Ultimately neither of our opinions on the matter are relevant anyway.
@@ryanjones4917 i never said their was a huge disparity, i simply stated that most Delta wouldnt pass selection, as barely anybody does, delta has much higher recruitment rates, its simple mathematics, its not to say they arent capable of doing their jobs, im merely saying alot of them would break easier, and sure some of them wouldnt break at all {my moneys on the Texan born Operators🤣), so to say theyre all the same calibre is understating just how tough viscous bastards the SAS really are also delta also have a hell week according to a good few sources on the internet, if thats wrong then dont blame me lol
@@Manning0151Delta does not have a much higher recruitment rate 😂 Delta recruits primarily from the 75th Rangers, a tier 2 SOF unit, and still more than 90% of them fail selection. (Identical to the SAS). Some Delta classes only produced 1 graduate, while some zero. Oh and a 75th Ranger passed SAS selection, so it’s safe to assume those already in Delta possess the same capability to get into the SAS. Your comment is pretty much full of BS lol. But don’t worry, i suppose it’s a good thing that Delta and the likes are so secretive you had to make things up in your comment while talking about them 👍😉
Coolest movie I've ever seen about the SAS is a 1982 film called "Who Dares Wins" with actors Lewis Collins, Richard Widmark, and Judy Davis. In the US market the film was titled "The Final Option."
SaS as ny father served with G squadron and served in Aden and Borneo. I never made selection but I served 3 years with the Royal Marines and 10 years with the French Foreign Legion. With the Legion we did get to do shooter ops with Delta force, and they were certainly tier 1 operatives with excellent skills and can do attitude. God Bless both regiments, the worlds a safer place thanks to them.
Thanks for your service. The Marines are a fantastic outfit and well done, I'd love to hear more about your time with the Legion, 10 years served you must have seen some action, I herd people go there because there guaranteed to see action... Thanks again.
@146- Thank you in my total military career. I was in action a fair few times 2 toirs of NI Falklands , 2 tours of Beirut and 2 tours of Tchad as well as.Bosnia and the 1st golf war and lots of black op missions which were in and out jobs. Yes, the Legion does do more missisons in France because the French still have conscription, so the Legion Entranger is the special forces go to door kickers.
@andrewfreshwater1843 Both services do the same selection course now, and you decide at the end of selection IF selected which unit suits you or should I say whi h unit belives u would fit in. Selection isn't just what you see and over Brecon Beacon and Pen Y Fan. that's just to see who has the sort out who will go on for 6 months selection training where you do jungle work, and it's there that the selection panelbreaksk u down andpushesh you past your your limits. It is there that the last 10 % can often be fighting for the last few spots in 21 22 23 Sas or SBS . 21 and 23 SAS are territorial units, and 22 are the regulars. There is also SRR now and SFSG.
I don't think I've ever clicked on a video so fast, I've been asking for it and we finally got it I just didn't think it would come this fast but thanks for the video, and I would prefer to have both on my side because switching to your pistol is always faster than reloading.
Jack Murphy from Team House sums it up pretty well in his article. "Delta Force continued to evolve, developing not as an offshoot of British special operations, but as a distinctly American unit that had more in common with the OSS than the SAS. The British influence has always been there, though, largely due to Beckwith. Beckwith believed in big-boy rules and individual self-discipline, something he picked up from his time with the SAS. “He learned a lot over there,” Jim said. “In the stockade, we trained a lot with live fire. Operators would go about their business in and out of the main building, walking around with loaded guns in their holsters all the time, in condition one. If you had an accidental discharge, you were out of the unit before the sun went down. You were gone.”“We went by internal nicknames and call signs, not rank. However, even with the apparent lack of formal rank titles and common first names used between seniors and juniors in the operational elements, I never saw a breakdown in the internal discipline, because in Delta, it was there. Everyone had the freedom to offer opinions and bring up solutions to problems." Just to illustrate the rigor, the unit recruits the majority from Special Forces and Rangers, hardened season special operations units that can already rival other SOF units ( granted they differ in roles, with GBs specializing in UW, Rangers in direct action est). You take that selected elite community and put them through some of the toughest training possible, with 95% of them washing out. There have been many cases where selections yield zero candidates, and that is just selections and not OTC. Paul Howe talked about how out of his two classes of 120 applicants each, only 12 to 14 completed the selection. That’s only a selection. After training (OTC), only 6 * finally made it into the unit. And that is considered to be high. According to ex-Delta shooter turned SOFREP writer, George IV, when he personally ran A and S, that session only produced two graduates. They were sent back to their Units to wait until there were enough graduates from A&S to run an OTC course. Even then staying is not guaranteed. Every day is a selection. Sine Pari
@@cypher6938 I love how they came up with that 'Nous Defions'. Apparently it was a tongue in cheek response to the SAS's Who Dare's, being a poor Latin translation for 'We dare'. Unmatched
Hands down without the SAS there would be no Delta I got alot of questions about the comment search the history of both units delta structure is based on the sas So ill say it again no sas no delta there that important

@@chairmanofthebored6860 I agree with him, it's only a matter of time before the US would of had to create a SF unit that can do more than just a normal unit to stay in the fight, so re-read what you said and get back to me.
Great video. I did selection for 23 sas (reserve) more than 20 years ago. But because I was ex regular army, I was able to go and do my selection with the regular 22 sas. That way it gets done much faster. And you can join the reserve unit based in Hereford. As they are the first call for extra men when the unit are short. This was how it was when I was a member. But I do know that lots of the unit organisation stuff has changed since then, so I do not know if it still works the same way.
@@dizzyWLRD A guy somewhere achieved the highest rank in the Airforce Reserves and said they are the best out there. Does this sound stupid? Refer to above.
@@CoffeeFiend1 nope it wouldn't amd that doesn't take away from my point he achieved that rank and has worked with all allies in his 2 decades in the 22sas if anyone would know the capabilities of either it's him
Actually, the first UK Special Forces unit were the Special Boat Service (changed its name twice from SBSection; SBSquadron), a year before the SAS was formed.
Technically, I believe the first SOF was the long range desert group - LRDG. This group was then renamed after initial raids in North Africa proved successful. It was the predecessor of both the SAS and SBS.
A video about Delta Force? What a surprise. It is like the first it has been made here. For General Discharge, there are 5 SF: Delta Force, Delta Force, Navy Seals Devgru, 75th Rangers, and Delta Force.
There is also 264 SAS signal Squadron part of 18th SF Signal Regiment and 63SAS Signal Squadron(Volunteer) Reservist also part of 18 SF Regt although it's designate is 63(UKSF) other Signal units in the 18 SF Regt are SBS,SRR and SFSG signal squadrons
Both Delta and the SAS are awesome, among the finest. Would you also do comparisons to the SEALs and the SBS? The SBS are still awesome too as equally capable as the SAS are.
@@cbankzy1340 You Brits always seem to want talk about the technological advantage of Kit and gear that the US defense department has.. Its always the new NVGs, or latest body armor or the new helicopter that US SOF has LOL.. Funny that you always equate our budget to (gear, and tech) when in reality, what make US SOF the best in the world is that the funding and budget has far more to do with the intelligence infrastructure that supports our SOF. Our Delta Force and SEALs are not better then the SAS and SBS because they can do tactics or shoot better.,, Our Delta Force and SEALs (are better) because they have an intelligence infrastructure behind them that can analyze and disseminate information (at the speed of war..) Stanly McCrystal literally wrote about this in his memoir “My Share of the Task”.. He specifically talks about how in the early days of Afghanistan and Iraq, when ever a U.S. or UK SF team would finish hitting a target, they would conduct their “SSE” and bring back bags of items with potential intelligence value i.e cell phones, hard drives, DNA, fingerprints, tablets ect… All of this intelligence material would sit in boxes for weeks, sometimes months because at the time, no one had the analytic capacity or staff to process the intelligence into (context) in a timely manner. It would be McCrystal and Delta Force Major Benett Sacolick that would change this flaw in the targeting cycle. They reached out to every single agency, contracting firm and branch within the DOD and foreign allied organizations to create an army of analytical think tanks; (a network to fight a network)… This change in intelligence processing almost immediately allowed US SOF to hit 8-10 targets a night across multiple AOs and time zones with a synchronized connectivity. This at the time had never been seen before in the history of modern warfare. This is where Delta Force and JSOC became the teachers, and UK SF became the students 😎
@@joesgotya9930Nevermind, I've seen your other comments. You're a jingoist weirdo and I'm sad that I wasted any effort on this or my previous comment.
I came across this video randomly. It was interesting to see what an American had to say about special operations services and to finally not see some "Team America" nonsense. If you've ever served in either (or both) within the comparison, then this is the kind of thing you expect a content creator to present and how it is presented too. Good job, well done.
@@garyford3533 Than you are completely clueless. As an immigrant to this country that had the pleasure of training with Special Forces, there is no SOF unit better than JSOC SMUs, especially CAG, with even USSOCOM tier 3 and tier 2 contesting or even outright outperforming the SAS at certain core skills(Green Berets are unrivaled in FID and UW). Along the words of British historian Mark Urban, 'when the SAS were at their most lethal, they were in the style of Delta'. So all due respect, shut up. PS: There is literally a video of an SAS shooter sheepishly admitting being outgunned by a Delta operator during training exercise. Lookup David Hookstead interview with Lindsay Bruce.
4:49 Charles Beckwith, Delta founder, shown in uniform with SAS wings on his right chest area (left as you view it). Obviously he served with 22 SAS, he commanded 3 Troop, A Squadron. I don't know if he actually attended and passed SAS selection, though. I would hope he got the right to wear those wings by passing selection, not for just serving with them. Anyway, it's exceedingly rare for a foreign soldier to officially wear SAS wings. Normally they're worn on the right shoulder, but clearly Beckwith went with U.S. Army protocol.
I believe that the custom of wearing them on the shoulder, as opposed to chest, meant that you only wore them after conducting a combat mission. Not sure if that would apply to US personnel tho...
@@andrewfreshwater1843 No, that's nonsense, all British soldiers wear them on the right shoulder regardless of combat mission participation. The criteria for wearing is first and foremost, succesfully attended and passed all SAS/UKSF selection phases and subsequently served in the SAS.
I met an ex SAS Maj Squadron Commander at a veterans event in the UK. Of course we asked him the obvious questions and he said the 2 were exactly the same, plus from what I can tell the SAS use 21, 23 like the Green Berets, while using Marines and Paras for other tier 2 support so it all kind of evens out.
Green berets are special forces. The paras and marines are standard army/navy. The SAS use 1 para which has different training compared to 2 and 3 para
@@thirstybonsai1888 Another keyboard warrior who never served, that's why you don't understand most European militaries merge elite and tier 2 roles into the same units. Look at the Paras hostage rescue in Sierra Leone and compare it to the rangers in Mogadishu and that was before UKSF Royal Marines and Paras were always recognised as tier 2 counterparts by the US both officially and on the ground. You never lifted a finger for GWOT if you did you would never piss on the reputations of others
@@thirstybonsai1888could argue the royal marines aren’t regular anymore especially with this future commando force that’s been happening since 2019. Not SF standard but definitely not regular they’re somewhere in between

Check out the story of Dick Meadows sometime. He was one of the first SF guys to cross train with the SAS, one of the originators of Delta, and the last I knew, the only SF soldier with his own statue at Ft. Bragg. He was so squared way and generally bad-ass that ended up marrying the SAS Sergeant Major's daughter.
Yes, Pamala Thompson, the daughter of SAS Sgt Major “Spud” Thompson. Meadows biography was literally written by his old mate 22 SAS trooper Allen Hoe.. The SAS considered Meadows one of their own, which is why the influence on Delta Force shaped into the organization it became.
5:55 In the recapture of El Chapo both of them are Mexican SOF, the right is a UNOPES Marines means Unidades de Operaciones Especiales or Special Operational Units and the left one is a F.E.R means Fuerza Especial de Reaccion (Speacial Forces of Reaction) they hunt narcos, kingpin, destroy Cartels and they do intelligence with U.S agency. F.E.R is the unique SOF consedered a Tier 1 in all Latin-america because they train alongside with the JSOC.
I like how people argue over who’s better, SAS or Delta. We can’t have a way because we’re not the ones going out and risking our lives. Different countries, different cultures, different missions. Both are good in their respective ways.
Also who cares who’s better. As an Australian part of the British commonwealth and well over a century of alliance with the United States. Both are on my side.
Stop lol going bout sas who dare wins that's not real SAS training ...it's for ppl who are generally fit and wanna go further . Thats a mid version Only ppl can go for SAS are true British squaddies who've been in the British army for over 5years and have served. Most are royal marines and royal artillery Fact:
Remember there are three nations that have Special Air Service Regiments. New Zealand SAS Australia SAS U.K. SAS There is keen rivalry between them, that keeps all three up to a very high standard .

CRW, Research Cell and Revolutionary Warfare Wing were developed by the SAS. They were not developed by Delta. Jungle training for SAS has been undertaken in Brunei for the last 20 years (not in Belize or Malaysia). There are SAS training staff permanently based there.
I think that the most amazing thing about the Iranian Embassy siege counterstrike was carried out live on national TV. I remember watching it as a child.
I guess I should add, when my friend's dad showed up on base for his once-a-month duty (he was in reserves by then), he saw these Delta guys (beards, jeans, t-shirts, whatnot) across from his office unloading stuff from a civilian transport truck into the adjacent warehouse. They were also smoking cigarettes, joking around, and tossing a football around. My friends dad went into his office and asked what was with the delivery guys screwing around throwing a football around. His fellow officer nonchalantly responded, "You wouldn't know it, but those are those Delta boys." My friends dad asked, "You mean the CAG Delta guys?". The guy said, "Yep, those guys."
All US military have to follow "the same hygiene protocol" while in Garrison and NOT in an active operation where Not having a beard can be a detriment.

40-mile trek dubbed The Long Drag.

Except, Delta Force and SEAL team 6 have easily killed or captured more HVTs and rescued more hostages then the SAS, SBS, SASR and NZSAS (combined) just a fact lol
21 and 23 SAS is not any easier to pass selection just because it's reserved, they need to be able to compete with the highest tier 1 troopers as if they are a regular trooper of 22 SAS. You may be called out on on hours notice to cover or to be back up on a live op anywhere in the world they would not to them if they did not think said 21 or 23 trooper could be put into that type of situation
I've heard it stated by many ex soldiers that the American Special forces are the equivalent of a normal British infantry battalion with unlimited funds
Former SAS operator Chris Ryan stated CAG is hands down the most capable and well trained unit in the world. He made that statement when he had former CAG operator John "Shrek" McPhee on his podcast. I concur. I will add that JSOC as a whole is head and shoulders above any other special operations organization in the world.
SAS trained all of the US soldiers since 1952 but the British started in 1941 and earlier in the late 1890s. SAS operatives are all navy seals, spec ops, delta, and ranger all wrapped up in one soldier that's the reason why their the biggest bad asses, even their training is so hard only a few make it, they start their training in the cold muddy rainy frost while the USA training is laboratory park environment and I know a few of these American elite soldiers that will laugh and say I'm not wrong. Let's give a special thank you to our trainers and mentors SAS elites! I salute you!!
Bravo two zero wadnt the only patrol to destroy scuds, they were simply the only ones to not use Lise vehicles and subsequently the only ones to get compromised and then caught. The other squadrons opted to use vehicles in the case of being compromised. They destroyed 1/3 of scuds if I’m not mistaken
At the end of the day these boys are willing to put their lives on the line for our safety like the guy said SAS and Delta have bled together let's give grace they are on our side.

Mike Calvert, Orde Wingate's exec in the Chindits and the man who commanded them in Malaya, is the one who deserves the credit for developing the SAS as it exists today. And, yeah, I'd go with the SAS. They seem to have it together very well. Learned about the modern regiment from Inside The S.A.S. by Tony Geraghty. Good account of the Brecon Beacons ordeal. PS Aren't the SAS members called troopers, as opposed to operators (gah!)? I could be wrong.
A friend of mine was Iraq 2. Had a few run ins with the high speeds. A couple Teams and Ds. Hated the Deltas. Apparently nothing professional about them in his opinion. Made me wonfer if they might have been CIA"s.
Joc Woodhouse is the one that designed the 22 Regiment and formulated its selection process and Sabre squadron structure. And later it was SAS Officer Peter de la Billière that would modernize 22 Regiment into the counter terrorism unit that we know today.. Stirling, Calvert and Wingate have fuck all to do with the Modern Regiment.
@@joesgotya9930 I would say the ethos that David Stirling laid down within the SAS still exists today, such as the pursuit of perfection and multitasking. You're right - Orde Wingate was in charge of the Chindits, not the SAS so he has no direct input in the Regiment. He learned on the job and his mistakes were costly when it came to lives, but there again I suppose he was a trailblazer and we all make mistakes. Lessons were learned that were brought over to the SAS in later operations. Perhaps even not what to do. And yes, Mike Calvert. He only spent months with the SAS, and that was from March to September 1945. He deserves praise and perhaps he has left a legacy with the SAS. Only they could tell us. Who Dares Wins.
Big call on Calvert. It was his influence when 22 was reformed in jungle. He was highly unpopular but a key player in the reformation of 22 after the war. Tho it did exist in reserve form. Think they were called the artists rifles. I think a guy by the name of Barry Davies invented the stun grenade and was influential in the building of the first killing house. Could be wrong to fair I’m relying on memory from old books.

Both have rhe same skillsets. But the US has the population and money to keep delta running continuously compared to England. Unit v Unit, they are alike.

The US has over 800 bases globally not including those on mainland US The US has global reach that Britain does not have. They are equally trained, but The US has the money, manpower and is more inclined to operate with Not just its allied countries but with other US/Non US gov't and non govt agencies in global operations where the British cannot be involved.
SAS had to fulfill both roles of Delta (Counterterrorism) and the Green Berets (Counter Insurgency). The creation of the Ranger Regiment in 2021 will likely lessen this burden.
Little bit of trivia: When the SAS was first established, they were called the SAS to hide the true nature of their purpose as a Commando/Special Forces unit. The idea of the name was to create the deception that the SAS was some form of unique aerial unit involved in transport of military VIP's aha.
Both are highly effective and deadly. But personally, ever since 9/11, CAG has more experience than SAS as they've conducted way more counter-terrorism operations in the GWOT (both in and out of theaters). 1 thing Delta has a great advantage over SAS is funding and resources.
The SAS (and SBS) also went to war right after 9/11 to help out DEVGRU and CAG. Yes CAG and DEVGRU were doing more operations because their country was the ones who got attacked. Also to mention that later on in the years 03-05 etc. both SAS and CAG were incredibly active and working together in TF BLACK.
I’m a U.S. Army veteran so I’ll go with Delta but with all of the research I have done it is impossible to know who is better if anyone. Every year they have a friendly competition called Deltex and they seem to be even with their success. The SAS has said that Delta are “Extremely sharp operators.” 🇺🇸 🇬🇧
Every Tier 1 group like DEVGRU, Delta and SAS are all super lethal and professionals at doing their jobs but the thing is America forces have more money and better tech so maybe DEVGRU and Delta are slightly above SAS.
@@richardkim3652 From "Shaping the World from the Shadows: The (Open) Secret History of Delta Force" By Chris Martin: "As the CT revolution got underway, the SAS troopers enviously took note at what the Unit was up to. Eventually they were allowed to take part in the campaign at a similar level.xxvi Besides merely wanting in on some of Delta’s action, the SAS’s commanding officer at the time, Lt. Col. Richard Williams, openly admired General McChrystal and was described as an unabashed Americanophile who “would probably have preferred to have commanded Delta.”xxviii He constantly challenged Task Force Black (mockingly referred to as “Task Force Slack” prior to their JSOC integrationxxix) to match the pace and intensity of the Americans. And when the SAS was at its most lethal, Urban described it as “operating in the style of Delta.”xxx
I highly doubt there’s a big tech difference between the two counter parts, considering they often work together/train and we’re each others biggest allies. Even tho america has way bigger funding let’s not act like the the top of the spear for uk isn’t well funded. I also think the so called “lack of funding: makes them even more impressive as there not reliant on all the tech, but more resourceful and independent, therefore have a higher level of skill. Devils advocate ofc
@@Dismay992 Yea but Delta and SAS are still equals. They train all the time and this time it isn't the past where SAS were the only best special forces. Now since it's the present and future time we have some special forces that rival SAS like Delta or DEVGRU. Time is moving on and the past is the past.
From what I heard from a SBS person is that a lot of time England's special forces do use tech but they're using American tech like when they need a drone or UAV it's a American drone and UAV. That goes for SAS.
Arguing about who’s better is a pointless and futile venture. Both organizations have the potential to forge the deadliest, most elite warriors the world has ever known. You could possibly compare the individual Delta/SAS operators, but they’re all pretty evenly talented and skilled, so that’s pretty pointless too. No matter how you look at it, saying one is better than the other makes zero sense and people should stop polluting YT chat and Quora with nonsensical questions and statements like that.
I remember some Chap in here making a statement that without the SAS there wouldn’t be any special forces units. I can’t find the statement, but when we co-op together CAG and 22 SAS we trade secrets in our tradecraft to improve each other’s operational capabilities. Within the SAS there is a unit called the increment or E squadron. The development of the squadron came when Charles Beckwith the founder of CAG or Delta did co-op with them and taught them how to do non-discretionary asymmetric warfare. DSCS did not have that capability before that pairing just as we didn’t have a dedicated counterterror capability before Beckwith learned from them… the increment itself is just like a US Army special forces ODA. Here is an outline of “The Increment” or E Squadron ua-cam.com/video/A3OS2LdDNpE/v-deo.html

Correct!! But SAS in Manchester and Liverpool is actually SAS CRW (Counter Revolutionary Warfare) which is a anti terror unit like you said
We're essentially talking about units made up of the same caliber of men who happen to wear different uniforms and fight under different flags. Regardless of the current mission set/focus, if the need were to arise either of these forces are more than capable of adapting to meet whatever threat emerges.
to say theyre 'the same calibre' is being extremely generous to delta force lmao, a good 70% wouldn't pass selection for the SAS, the SAS has years where literally nobody makes it
im not downplaying how tought Delta Force are, but Delta Force have Hell Week... The SAS have 6 Months of 'Hell Week'
@carlmanning3384 Hell Week is for SEALs, not Delta. If there was as high a disparity in the capability of the two units, they probably wouldn't be doing the officer exchange program that has existed for decades. Ultimately neither of our opinions on the matter are relevant anyway.
@@ryanjones4917 i never said their was a huge disparity, i simply stated that most Delta wouldnt pass selection, as barely anybody does, delta has much higher recruitment rates, its simple mathematics, its not to say they arent capable of doing their jobs, im merely saying alot of them would break easier, and sure some of them wouldnt break at all {my moneys on the Texan born Operators🤣), so to say theyre all the same calibre is understating just how tough viscous bastards the SAS really are

Oh and a 75th Ranger passed SAS selection, so it’s safe to assume those already in Delta possess the same capability to get into the SAS.

Coolest movie I've ever seen about the SAS is a 1982 film called "Who Dares Wins" with actors Lewis Collins, Richard Widmark, and Judy Davis. In the US market the film was titled "The Final Option."
SaS as ny father served with G squadron and served in Aden and Borneo. I never made selection but I served 3 years with the Royal Marines and 10 years with the French Foreign Legion. With the Legion we did get to do shooter ops with Delta force, and they were certainly tier 1 operatives with excellent skills and can do attitude. God Bless both regiments, the worlds a safer place thanks to them.
Thanks for your service. The Marines are a fantastic outfit and well done, I'd love to hear more about your time with the Legion, 10 years served you must have seen some action, I herd people go there because there guaranteed to see action... Thanks again.

Jack Murphy from Team House sums it up pretty well in his article.
"Delta Force continued to evolve, developing not as an offshoot of British special operations, but as a distinctly American unit that had more in common with the OSS than the SAS. The British influence has always been there, though, largely due to Beckwith. Beckwith believed in big-boy rules and individual self-discipline, something he picked up from his time with the SAS. “He learned a lot over there,” Jim said. “In the stockade, we trained a lot with live fire. Operators would go about their business in and out of the main building, walking around with loaded guns in their holsters all the time, in condition one. If you had an accidental discharge, you were out of the unit before the sun went down. You were gone.”“We went by internal nicknames and call signs, not rank. However, even with the apparent lack of formal rank titles and common first names used between seniors and juniors in the operational elements, I never saw a breakdown in the internal discipline, because in Delta, it was there. Everyone had the freedom to offer opinions and bring up solutions to problems."
Just to illustrate the rigor, the unit recruits the majority from Special Forces and Rangers, hardened season special operations units that can already rival other SOF units ( granted they differ in roles, with GBs specializing in UW, Rangers in direct action est). You take that selected elite community and put them through some of the toughest training possible, with 95% of them washing out. There have been many cases where selections yield zero candidates, and that is just selections and not OTC.
Paul Howe talked about how out of his two classes of 120 applicants each, only 12 to 14 completed the selection. That’s only a selection. After training (OTC), only 6 * finally made it into the unit. And that is considered to be high. According to ex-Delta shooter turned SOFREP writer, George IV, when he personally ran A and S, that session only produced two graduates. They were sent back to their Units to wait until there were enough graduates from A&S to run an OTC course.
Even then staying is not guaranteed. Every day is a selection.
Sine Pari
Delta forces are not in sas category more like fucking royal marines
Pretty much it both units have learned a lot from each other over the years. Sas and delta are always developing new ideas for NATO sof
Only one unit can hit an unknown Floorplan and bedazzled the enemy with their flow through the target.

Great video. I did selection for 23 sas (reserve) more than 20 years ago. But because I was ex regular army, I was able to go and do my selection with the regular 22 sas. That way it gets done much faster. And you can join the reserve unit based in Hereford. As they are the first call for extra men when the unit are short. This was how it was when I was a member.

Funny that you always equate our budget to (gear, and tech) when in reality, what make US SOF the best in the world is that the funding and budget has far more to do with the intelligence infrastructure that supports our SOF. Our Delta Force and SEALs are not better then the SAS and SBS because they can do tactics or shoot better.,, Our Delta Force and SEALs (are better) because they have an intelligence infrastructure behind them that can analyze and disseminate information (at the speed of war..) Stanly McCrystal literally wrote about this in his memoir “My Share of the Task”.. He specifically talks about how in the early days of Afghanistan and Iraq, when ever a U.S. or UK SF team would finish hitting a target, they would conduct their “SSE” and bring back bags of items with potential intelligence value i.e cell phones, hard drives, DNA, fingerprints, tablets ect… All of this intelligence material would sit in boxes for weeks, sometimes months because at the time, no one had the analytic capacity or staff to process the intelligence into (context) in a timely manner. It would be McCrystal and Delta Force Major Benett Sacolick that would change this flaw in the targeting cycle. They reached out to every single agency, contracting firm and branch within the DOD and foreign allied organizations to create an army of analytical think tanks; (a network to fight a network)… This change in intelligence processing almost immediately allowed US SOF to hit 8-10 targets a night across multiple AOs and time zones with a synchronized connectivity. This at the time had never been seen before in the history of modern warfare.

Along the words of British historian Mark Urban, 'when the SAS were at their most lethal, they were in the style of Delta'.

I don't know if he actually attended and passed SAS selection, though. I would hope he got the right to wear those wings by passing selection, not for just serving with them. Anyway, it's exceedingly rare for a foreign soldier to officially wear SAS wings. Normally they're worn on the right shoulder, but clearly Beckwith went with U.S. Army protocol.

Check out the story of Dick Meadows sometime. He was one of the first SF guys to cross train with the SAS, one of the originators of Delta, and the last I knew, the only SF soldier with his own statue at Ft. Bragg. He was so squared way and generally bad-ass that ended up marrying the SAS Sergeant Major's daughter.
Yes, Pamala Thompson, the daughter of SAS Sgt Major “Spud” Thompson. Meadows biography was literally written by his old mate 22 SAS trooper Allen Hoe.. The SAS considered Meadows one of their own, which is why the influence on Delta Force shaped into the organization it became.
Married the SM's daughter? Sure they did not release him from a padded cell. because that is insane.

In the recapture of El Chapo both of them are Mexican SOF, the right is a UNOPES Marines means Unidades de Operaciones Especiales or Special Operational Units and the left one is a F.E.R means Fuerza Especial de Reaccion (Speacial Forces of Reaction) they hunt narcos, kingpin, destroy Cartels and they do intelligence with U.S agency.

Recruits march with a bergen backpack weighing 25kg - not including water, food and a rifle - and can only use a map, compass and memorised grid references to find their way. To qualify for the next phase, they must complete it within 24 hours. ( SAS selection process)
The final challenge was a 40-mile (64 km) march with a 45-pound (20 kg) rucksack over rough terrain that had to be completed in an unknown amount of time; this was also colloquially known as "The Long Walk" ( DELTA final selection ) pretty similar.
I am curious the SBS compares to SAS or SBS to DEVGRU SBS to CAG
Gotta do Devgru vs SBS now 🤷🏽…love this channel, keep it going please!!!!
I know Delta force is great because the only argument is that SAS came first just because u start something doesn’t mean your automatically the best someone can do something you started better than you

They are brilliant but the British Paras or Royal Marines would beat them hands down.
Former SAS operator Chris Ryan stated CAG is hands down the most capable and well trained unit in the world. He made that statement when he had former CAG operator John "Shrek" McPhee on his podcast. I concur. I will add that JSOC as a whole is head and shoulders above any other special operations organization in the world.
My apologies, but who is CAG ? Thanks in advance!
@@josedicko1501 if I'm correct its another name for Delta

He never said that I watched the whole podcast all he said was they had more money
Sas is permanently under jsoc because of the task force 145 days and so is delta under United Kingdom special forces
SAS trained all of the US soldiers since 1952 but the British started in 1941 and earlier in the late 1890s. SAS operatives are all navy seals, spec ops, delta, and ranger all wrapped up in one soldier that's the reason why their the biggest bad asses, even their training is so hard only a few make it, they start their training in the cold muddy rainy frost while the USA training is laboratory park environment and I know a few of these American elite soldiers that will laugh and say I'm not wrong. Let's give a special thank you to our trainers and mentors SAS elites! I salute you!!
Cousin Andy said that the SAS was better. I asked him why he got caught then, eh. The debate goes on...
Bravo two zero wadnt the only patrol to destroy scuds, they were simply the only ones to not use Lise vehicles and subsequently the only ones to get compromised and then caught. The other squadrons opted to use vehicles in the case of being compromised. They destroyed 1/3 of scuds if I’m not mistaken
Operation Blue Light was the precursor to Delta. Blue light was activated to be utilized until Delta Force was fully established.
At the end of the day these boys are willing to put their lives on the line for our safety like the guy said SAS and Delta have bled together let's give grace they are on our side.
I appreciate both. I thank GOD there are men that are willing to do things no one else can or will to fight evil.
DEVGRU vs SBS next?
Quite possibly on the horizon!
How about the Special Boat Service (SBS)? Do they still exist? Aren't they part of the Royal Navy, like an analogue of U.S. Navy Seals?
Nope, the standard ‘seal’ is more on the same level as a uk marine. US marines and UK marines aren’t the same standard
SBS would be similar to seal team 6 (DEVGRU) both being amphibious tier 1 units
@@davidvarney4313 the comparison between SEALS and Royal Marines are actually wrong. I wouldn’t really say they are the same because seals are SOF and focus on basically everything such as HALO, HAHO jumping, reconnaissance etc. The Royal Marines aren’t SOF and they aren’t really at the same level because they don’t do all of that. The best comparison I can think of is Royal Marines are similar to US marines because they do the exact same thing.

The images at 14min, are actually Portuguese Fuzileiros (Marines) in a sequence made for NATO. Good video Brother.
Mike Calvert, Orde Wingate's exec in the Chindits and the man who commanded them in Malaya, is the one who deserves the credit for developing the SAS as it exists today.
And, yeah, I'd go with the SAS. They seem to have it together very well. Learned about the modern regiment from Inside The S.A.S. by Tony Geraghty. Good account of the Brecon Beacons ordeal.
PS Aren't the SAS members called troopers, as opposed to operators (gah!)? I could be wrong.
A friend of mine was Iraq 2. Had a few run ins with the high speeds. A couple Teams and Ds. Hated the Deltas. Apparently nothing professional about them in his opinion. Made me wonfer if they might have been CIA"s.
Joc Woodhouse is the one that designed the 22 Regiment and formulated its selection process and Sabre squadron structure. And later it was SAS Officer Peter de la Billière that would modernize 22 Regiment into the counter terrorism unit that we know today.. Stirling, Calvert and Wingate have fuck all to do with the Modern Regiment.
@@joesgotya9930 I would say the ethos that David Stirling laid down within the SAS still exists today, such as the pursuit of perfection and multitasking.
You're right - Orde Wingate was in charge of the Chindits, not the SAS so he has no direct input in the Regiment. He learned on the job and his mistakes were costly when it came to lives, but there again I suppose he was a trailblazer and we all make mistakes. Lessons were learned that were brought over to the SAS in later operations. Perhaps even not what to do.
And yes, Mike Calvert. He only spent months with the SAS, and that was from March to September 1945. He deserves praise and perhaps he has left a legacy with the SAS. Only they could tell us. Who Dares Wins.
Yes SAS are Troopers, not Operators.
Big call on Calvert. It was his influence when 22 was reformed in jungle. He was highly unpopular but a key player in the reformation of 22 after the war. Tho it did exist in reserve form. Think they were called the artists rifles. I think a guy by the name of Barry Davies invented the stun grenade and was influential in the building of the first killing house. Could be wrong to fair I’m relying on memory from old books.
Probably the closest that I've heard a "Yank" accurately describe the SAS selection proceedure!Good job,lol.Cheers😊👍👍👍
Let’s get a video on the FRENCH FOREIGN LEGION!!

Two most elite units in the world
I know im late but can you talk about the 88 mike or military drivers
Hope i didn't get confused or ill look silly.......
Fairly certain the selection processes are slightly different than what is said in the video.
Delta
Selection
Phase 1 Endurance
Phase 2 Interview with Current Members
Training
OTC
Urban Reconnaissance Course & Tradecraft (Not sure if thats apart of OTC or seperate)
SAS & SBS (Joint Selection)
Selection
Phase 1 Endurance
Phase 2 Jungle Prep Skills
Phase 3 Jungle (Test Teamwork in patrols of 4 candidates and one staff)
Phase 4 Skills (Demolitions, Foreign Weapons and Prep for SERE)
Phase 5 SERE (1 Week hunted by members of the parachute regiment with dogs than 48 or 72 hours of interrogation)
Training
Urban Reconnaissance & Tradecraft (For alongtime based on working in Northern Ireland now more focused on Hunting Terrorists in London)
Swimmer Canoist (Additionaly members going to a boat troop do Swimmer Canoist Training with the SBS)
Training in Squadron (Teaches most of the OTC skills when you get to a team rather than before, also checking if you work well with teammates
Every Delta operator and support staff have to complete SERE. It's not part of OTC because most have completed it prior to selection.
As a red blooded American, I gotta go with Delta....... But some of those old school SAS guys you read about were pretty bad ass!!! I read a book years ago called "the desert rats". Those dudes were wild! They wrecked shit all over the African continent during WW2!
Its not training or equipment that makes that someone a great soldier over a good soldier. Its the soldier himself, his endurance, his complete focus to complete the task whilst still having awareness of the developing situation.....😊😊😊
Actually, it’s about having a big, robust intelligence apparatus that can analyze and disseminate information at the speed of war. It takes funding and budget to achieve this scale of situational awareness, which is why US SOF wipe the floor with UK SF 🤫

The SAS weren't even using nor proficient in nightvision during the onset invasion of Iraq in the early to mid 2000s. Post 9/11 CAG has separated itself as the most capable unit/organization in the world. No other special operations unit from any country comes close to the amount of money per operator as the U.S. does with training and especially talent pool.

Just because they were first doesnt mean they are, today's, best.
England couldnt keep up with US special operations in Afg. They watched while US led daily operations.
Both train together. Both have rhe same skillsets.
But the US has the population and money to keep delta running continuously compared to England.
Unit v Unit, they are alike.
Big picture, world wide operations and individual experience..
Delta is in Central and South America, Africa, Europe, middle east and Asia.
SAS is only where Delta lets them tag along.
Hands down Delta.
source: trust me bro
I don’t even know what that means the uk was just as active as us in both Iraq and Afghan and were in those countries before us if you haven’t worked them in either of those countries don’t say they weren’t kicking down doors everyday that’s a lie.
Sas dosen’t need to tag along with delta they integrate the units and you’ll never know the difference a sas operator is more proficient behind enemy lines and infiltration it’s how they are trained delta is slightly different so they combine the two skills to make something unbeatable
@gootusfootus3229 so you agree.
They integrate... they are tagging along.
There are 195 countries. Britain has 145 bases globally, not including those in mainland Britain.
The US has over 800 bases globally not including those on mainland US
The US has global reach that Britain does not have.
They are equally trained, but The US has the money, manpower and is more inclined to operate with Not just its allied countries but with other US/Non US gov't and non govt agencies in global operations where the British cannot be involved.

The Long Drag, 40 mile march with 25kg (55lbs) bergen, is not done within 24 hours but 20 hours for SAS/SBS/SRS Selection.

Little bit of trivia: When the SAS was first established, they were called the SAS to hide the true nature of their purpose as a Commando/Special Forces unit. The idea of the name was to create the deception that the SAS was some form of unique aerial unit involved in transport of military VIP's aha.

And try telling a Royal Marine or a Para he's not the best
Both are highly effective and deadly. But personally, ever since 9/11, CAG has more experience than SAS as they've conducted way more counter-terrorism operations in the GWOT (both in and out of theaters). 1 thing Delta has a great advantage over SAS is funding and resources.
The SAS (and SBS) also went to war right after 9/11 to help out DEVGRU and CAG. Yes CAG and DEVGRU were doing more operations because their country was the ones who got attacked. Also to mention that later on in the years 03-05 etc. both SAS and CAG were incredibly active and working together in TF BLACK.
@@dylanjohns8409 TF Black was just SAS with some SBS. Delta Force was TF Green. Both were part of TF 88.

I’m a U.S. Army veteran so I’ll go with Delta but with all of the research I have done it is impossible to know who is better if anyone. Every year they have a friendly competition called Deltex and they seem to be even with their success. The SAS has said that Delta are “Extremely sharp operators.” 🇺🇸 🇬🇧
Every Tier 1 group like DEVGRU, Delta and SAS are all super lethal and professionals at doing their jobs but the thing is America forces have more money and better tech so maybe DEVGRU and Delta are slightly above SAS.
@@richardkim3652 From "Shaping the World from the Shadows: The (Open) Secret History of Delta Force" By Chris Martin:
"As the CT revolution got underway, the SAS troopers enviously took note at what the Unit was up to. Eventually they were allowed to take part in the campaign at a similar level.xxvi
Besides merely wanting in on some of Delta’s action, the SAS’s commanding officer at the time, Lt. Col. Richard Williams, openly admired General McChrystal and was described as an unabashed Americanophile who “would probably have preferred to have commanded Delta.”xxviii He constantly challenged Task Force Black (mockingly referred to as “Task Force Slack” prior to their JSOC integrationxxix) to match the pace and intensity of the Americans. And when the SAS was at its most lethal, Urban described it as “operating in the style of Delta.”xxx
I highly doubt there’s a big tech difference between the two counter parts, considering they often work together/train and we’re each others biggest allies. Even tho america has way bigger funding let’s not act like the the top of the spear for uk isn’t well funded. I also think the so called “lack of funding: makes them even more impressive as there not reliant on all the tech, but more resourceful and independent, therefore have a higher level of skill. Devils advocate ofc
@@Dismay992 Yea but Delta and SAS are still equals. They train all the time and this time it isn't the past where SAS were the only best special forces. Now since it's the present and future time we have some special forces that rival SAS like Delta or DEVGRU. Time is moving on and the past is the past.
From what I heard from a SBS person is that a lot of time England's special forces do use tech but they're using American tech like when they need a drone or UAV it's a American drone and UAV. That goes for SAS.
Great

I'd like to see that
Two thumbs up for Delta Force AND SAS 👍👍
I have a suggestion for a video, US NAVY SEALS vs German NAVY SEALS aka KSM
Arguing about who’s better is a pointless and futile venture. Both organizations have the potential to forge the deadliest, most elite warriors the world has ever known. You could possibly compare the individual Delta/SAS operators, but they’re all pretty evenly talented and skilled, so that’s pretty pointless too. No matter how you look at it, saying one is better than the other makes zero sense and people should stop polluting YT chat and Quora with nonsensical questions and statements like that.
I remember some Chap in here making a statement that without the SAS there wouldn’t be any special forces units. I can’t find the statement, but when we co-op together CAG and 22 SAS we trade secrets in our tradecraft to improve each other’s operational capabilities. Within the SAS there is a unit called the increment or E squadron. The development of the squadron came when Charles Beckwith the founder of CAG or Delta did co-op with them and taught them how to do non-discretionary asymmetric warfare. DSCS did not have that capability before that pairing just as we didn’t have a dedicated counterterror capability before Beckwith learned from them… the increment itself is just like a US Army special forces ODA. Here is an outline of “The Increment” or E Squadron ua-cam.com/video/A3OS2LdDNpE/v-deo.html
