World’s Deadliest, Most Lethal Elite Fighting Forces

Every country has its own fighting force to protect its interest, as well as its countrymen. But some countries take an extra attention to their fighting elites. They make sure to hone the skills of their fighters to become world-class, This makes them the world’s deadliest elite fighting forces. Take a look at these fighting forces, and how they have become the world’s “most lethal weapon”.

List Of The World’s Deadliest Fighting Forces

British SAS

The history of the British Special Air Service (SAS) dates back to 1941. The British SAS is thought to be the original and the first special force in the world. It is said that they are the ones who inspired other countries to have their own special forces.

Delta Force

The US Army’s Delta Force is the best of the best. It is established in the 1970s, and recruitment for the prestigious Delta Force has always been secretive. As a matter of fact, Delta Force is deadlier than the SEALs. It is said that out of 240 men recruited to be part of the Delta Force, only 12 to 14 actually made it.

Special Boat Service

UK has its own elite special force known as the Special Boat Service. However, becoming part of the order is not for the feeble-minded. For you to become a warrior elite of the Special Boat Service, you have to undergo a series of grueling, near-death training. These include agonizing endurance test, combat survival training and jungle training in Belize.

Sayeret Matkal

Israel’s own elite force, the Sayeret Matkal, is one of the world’s best. Its primary objective is intelligence extraction. The Sayeret Matkal often blend in with their targets deep within the enemy lines. Hardcore training will greet new recruit to test if they have what it takes to be part of this deadly strike force. Only the recruits with the strongest physical and mental ability get in.

Naval Special Warfare Force

Spain’s Naval Special Warfare Force or Unidad de Operaciones Especiales is one of Europe’s best task forces.
