Best Special Forces

[Pekka]

Greeks special forces? Or Greeks in general? Why? Give us some info about Greek special forces..

[Bereta_Eder]

Not Greeks in general

Greek katadromeis are fairly tough I think.

How would katadromeis be translated in English I don;t really know.

Next best is Greek amphibian demolition teams


And some other squads lik those of unorthodox warfare (these are also very dangerous).

I think they are quite good. they keep getting all the top marks in joint NATOexercies that's all I know about them... They must be fairly good.

[Bereta_Eder]

Oh and I have seen the amphibian teams jump from an airplane at night directly into tjhe freazing sea when i was in the army as a cozy conscript. i shivered just bylooking at them

[Pekka]

Must of been cool to witness that..

I've had only one chance of seeing some small stuff, like guys coming down from roof by a rope, head first and other pretty lame stuff.

[Bereta_Eder]

It was cool, also a bit unbelivable

also their quarters were somewhat close to ours for some time with a wall seperating them and we were adviced by the "old guns" not to approach them

a advice i followed

[Bereta_Eder]

i was about to go to the midnight guard on the outer periphery of the camp when i saw them.

a plane flying low and one by one jumping to the sea. i stood there watching like an idiot

Is sisu helpful to the Finnish armed forces? It was important in the Winter War?

[Pekka]

Of course it's helpful.. I think it's our special weapon since we are not a country with big budgets.
When you don't have all those jets, you have to compensate it with something. Not very good compensator, but better than nothing.

Back to topic.. I'm wondering if there's any known African special forces.. Would be interesting to know. Or are they regular army, and mercs are considered special forces?

I honestly think, that the toughest forces comes from a small country that has been in a war for a long time.. on and off kind of war. They've been growing up in war, they know what it's all about, and they must be good if they have survived and are in special forces. Plus their motivation must be excellent. Then again, these kind of guys are all over the world..

Would you mind telling us your expertise in special forces and how you come to this conclusion.

Anyone know anything about the Australian Norforce. I read an article in the South China Morning Post and the guys sound pretty good.

[Giancarlo]

Clearly enough... our very own Mossad!

The best special forces are the dead special forces.

I liked Stallone's act in Rambo II, btw...
(yes the one where he's hiding in the woods, killing sheriff deputys and feds)
