Top 10 Special Counter-Terrorism Forces

The BEST Top 10 Special Forces whose main Mission is Counter-Terrorism .

[@timofarrell5665]

GIGN... 8th??? umm, the GIGN should at least be in the top 5...

[@TemplarX2]

Tim O'Farrell Number 1. GIGN has an incredible, unmatched record.

[@Speedhero2PL]

Where is grom?!

[@purplebob2]

Let's put it this way, while in Task Force K-Bar (SOF task force with 8 different nations in 2001-2002 in Afghanistan), Commander of TF K-Bar Rear Admiral Robert Harward (US Navy SEAL captain) openly said that JTF2 was his first choice for direct action missions. That means he chose JTF2 over US Navy SEALs, German KSK, New Zealand SAS, Australian SASR, Norwegian MJK/HJK and Danish Jaegers for any mission he needed a strike team for.

[@misteraero8290]

Very glad to see Australia's CTU in this video. Well done for adding it!

[@1thejosef]

I've heard that the Israel's special force: Yamam beated SAS and is now 1st and SAS 2nd. And yes, GIGN should be at the top 5... What I think about SWAT is that they should be at top 15.

[@2tone928]

[@krzysiekbielinski345]

4.30 polish GROM...and in my opion polish GROM should be on this list

[@nali2076]

[@Dagsschiller]

GSG-9 FTW!! I really liked that you included them and even made it to 6th place.

[@ImSorryFive]

I always love how the people who make these videos never actually do any research they just choose the ones they've heard of...

[@logantruso7518]

I only Know these names from rainbow six siege 😂

[@ProfessionalROGaming]

Where are the spetsnaz?

[@vikramkhanna6158]

nice one. would like more like this, but probably with narration like they do in Discovery channel and millitary channel. Would be better. But was good anyways.

[@CLAUD21212]

1:30 This unit was featured in GTA Vice City mission "Mall Shootout" :)

[@maniek4264]

where is polish GROM

[@jackstack2240]

maybe it isn't in the top ten

[@firestarter1041]

They are not counter terrorist

[@isengard1500]

Operation Chariot is just my favourite raid, in which it has been title "The Greatest Raid of All" :)

[@SOFSAS]

excellent choice

[@TheAdriyaman]

Exactly. That is precisely what occurred to me when I watched this video. Sayeret Matkal is a SOF(though it is CT trained).

[@Ptolemy_M7]

Thanks :)

[@jclange8630]

A couple things about this list. Any of these well respected groups will tell you that there are typically other special counterterrorism personnel on the ground in a target location long before the SEALs or SAS show up, but those personnel aren't SEALs or SAS. Infiltrators, brokers, and provocateurs, as well as hard target squads. These people are often on site having done the mission prep, and perform missions right along with the special forces units.

[@weeguy52]

100% agree mate..and i also wiki for copy and paste too :)..it does save alot of time anyway mate..thanks

[@deebmustaf]

1- That was from the first missions. 2- It was a HR mission, not a CT. 3- The unit was shutdown after this missions then restored later. 4- Their later mission were perfectly done, but you won't find their later mission on Wiki. You'll find it only on a few pages in Arabic.

[@AlmantasVainauskasPolitics2014]

Good Clip.

[@daniellilley8341]

Keep up the good work!!!!!!!

[@millze1993]

the sas are by far the number 1, the trainning those guys go through its insane.

[@blizzu1337]

thanks. researched about it. actually there were 65 tanks from which 57 got destroyed, and you forgot to mention that the indians had 4 Hawker Planes and it was not the Regular Infantry that got the battle won ,but the air force. really impressive, i saw some people call it second Battle of Thermophyle :D. do you know any more hard/incredible battles ? would like to look for more

[@ALPHAFIVETWOFIVE]

Of the last three photos shown supposedly depicting British SAS, number 3 and 2 are in fact Australian troopers from TAG-East (2 Commando, formerly 4RAR(Commando) during a capabilities demonstration in 2002. You can google "Tagged for action Counter-terrorism capability unveiled" for verification.

[@Geko2006]

That video have unreal stuff..

[@rohitb3]

Couldn agree more!! When will people understand that? :P

[@sammas1862]

as for the shayetet 13 operations there was the green island raid, they succeeded in their mission, but to begin with they thought they were discovered and opened fire, this led to most of them being killed but they still achieved what was needed but it was a costly mistake.

[@MottyRuttner]

nice song!

[@leseal1614]

nice job am from Britain,clad to see the sas there

[@IsaacBellaSienna]

the middle 3 photos of british sas are really australias 2 commando regiment tactical assault group (east) and the photos from australian sas are aswell 2 commandos

[@05nparsons]

accurate enough for me.

[@faroukhameg7446]

yehhhh I agree with you man

[@Chekov1884]

The 75th Army Rangers are one of the premier US light infantry regiments however they are not considered special forces. They provide support for the JSOC (Joint Special Operations Command) when one of their operations go awry in the form of a QRF (Quick Reaction Force). One of the main reasons people consider the SAS as number 1, is because most other special forces units such as SFOD-D and the French GIGN

[@juvenpat9534]

Nice

[@malamindulo]

6:01 that's an epic picture, I should make it my screens "wallpaper"

[@rubbinman1998]

WOW number 4?Yeah,I have worked with some of those said shooters and I'll tell ya they are not fourth on most anyones list.Esp. when your talking about DEV.!Anywho nice vid and tunes are alright too.

[@Martysarts]

0:21 that is a Dutch MARSOF, you can see it at the gear and the C7 diemaco.

[@gameboy929]

clean record of NSG:- December 1999: Terrorists hijacked Indian Airlines flight IC814 from Nepal, and landed in Amritsar, Punjab. Within minutes of landing, the Crisis Management Group (CMG), which authorised the use of the NSG, was informed. But the CMG wasted precious hours and by the time the go-ahead was issued, it is too late. On the other hand, the NSG team on alert was elsewhere and no other team was raised during the delay. The plane landed in Afghanistan where one hostage was killed.

[@MrApache101]

sorry to ask the nooby question, i know the first song as it's in the description, but whats the last 2 songs, specifically the second one, cheers

[@XxXxXxARTICxXxXxX]

The second song is called Hero, by Skillet

[@rustemaliyev3396]

nice

[@BicornioSPA]

The top 10 with best marketing.

[@MrApache101]

oh, thats cool, im 15 now, i have a 26 y/o sister too, my father lives in GB now, as his duties for mother russia have been completed, although he still goes back to his old base during the year for about 2 weeks

[@williamcoolhat5438]

For fsb Alfa he showed pictures of fsb vympel

[@midsue]

Thanks for uploading this video. I think anti-terrorism special forces is needed this days more then ever before.

[@XxMaDxXxProDucTioNxX]

I agree with your video but did you see others Special Counter-Terrorism Forces ?

[@alann4u]

You should watch the Documentary about rescue mission inside Taj hotel during that Mumbai terrorist attack and you'll know why it took so long. Its on youtube even.

[@FreeDeadLP]

Where is OMON? And I have got a question ;D What is the third song?

[@isengard1500]

75th are like the SFSG of the UKSF, Delta were modeled on the SAS and SFOD-D is a fancy American way of saying Delta Force..

[@deebmustaf]

I am sure 100% that you don't know anything about Unit 777 aside from the Egypt Air mission, but I don't blame you for that.

[@klonon501]

i agree with you

[@TheAdriyaman]

Agree.But units like the ones you have mentioned have other capabilities too.NSG engages in missions like in bomb disposal and VIP protection(SRG).GIGN is trained in performing HALO, assault of ships etc.Yamam can perform operations like raids in civilian areas.And GSG-9 or Grenzchutzgruppe 9 itself means Border security unit...like the Indian BSF.There is no force which can perform CT and nothing else.

[@666slipknotmetalhead]

whats the song that plays when the russian american and british sas are there not 3 doors down or skillet

[@gomergilligan]

oh sorry - you were talking about Beslan - not the theater rescue - which they did as I said earlier.

[@sammas1862]

or it could be that i look at those special forces because ive always been interested in the UK's SF and that interest has led me to also look at Europe, America and Israel as they work together, train together etc. my mind isn't closed its focused on what i want to learn about. also its not just the UK and France. Poland, Germany are also well known for having good SF.

[@forgedwarrior]

Kryptonite by three doors down. Great song.

[@arnaudsurribas2963]

Don't know who is n°1 as such things don't really exist, but regarding history, experience and number of missions accomplished, GIGN should at least be in the top 3. For instance it has seen way more action than the EKO Cobra, or the GSG9 that the GIGN trained (i guess that if the more experienced unit usually from the less experienced, not the other way around) . They are OFFICIALY the reference for intervention in planes, and form every other units on the planet concerning that precise type of intervention. While not being dedicated to usual special forces task (they don't perform sabotage or elimination of targets unlike SAS or its sister, 1 RPIMA) they are certainly the more experienced team when it come to counter terrorism, hostage rescue, and among the best close quarter unit.

[@TheAdriyaman]

why so?could you please elaborate?what are the parameters again?

[@Amplicious]

Yes, I agree. I just don't like saying a group is better than another when everyone is an individual.

[@RoM1il]

be the most effective way of crippling the enemy, they used this when they were founded back in 1941 by David Stirling, small man groups could easily infiltrate the German lines and decimate aircraft, ammunition etc. They proved to be so useful they racked up a reputation throughout the war, but due to secrecy nobody knew they existed until around the time of the Iranian Embassy siege and the famous Bravo Two Zero. At the height of Communism Vietnam war, the British SAS alone fought secret wars

[@momoSelecto]

Nice vid, exept that GIGN should be in the top 3 ^_^'

[@rickbolton9003]

i'm not sure what you mean in your question with the borders, you mean country borders within britain, or something in relation to the afgan pakistan bit you mentioned?

[@chhorra]

on what basis is the selection done and ranks given?

[@WillowRook]

What was the criteria for ranking?

[@Nitrousoxidification]

Damn right SAS are first (Brit here) however, believe it or not I am quite surprised the Serbian PTJ didn't make it on your top 10. You wouldn't believe how insanely good they are as a CTF. They nicked the Spetsnaz training scheme, so think Spetsnaz but counter terrorists :)

[@millze1993]

u can believe what ever you want bro

[@GunnerKyle16073]

i agree

[@steiner1203]

Should've mentioned the SAS has always been performing training exercises with live rounds. They never used dummys.

[@rohitb3]

Difference is the Experience and success, which actually proves what they are capable off. And no training subsitutes real time experience..

[@Ptolemy_M7]

What's the name of a song who begin in 2:46 ? Thanks for response

[@Icouldntthinkofabettername0]

what about mirbat huh that was roughly the same odds, plus in ww2 a small section of the foot guards at a small artillery base held out against half of a combined armoured and infantry devision on the way to cairo for three days, they ran out of rounds then did a bayonette charge on which they got mowed down

[@MsAlvarolandia]

Right! hehe the first one

[@dominiquegrandjean5941]

in fact.In recent history, the GIGN have prove that it is minimum in top 5.

[@sammas1862]

and it might not be compulsory but its unlikely you'll get in without going through them first, of-course they can make exceptions but its very rare you'll get in any other way, and most don't. its also because royal marines and paras are held to a higher esteem so would get more of a look in and have closer ties to the SAS and SBS. so it may not be compulsory but you probably wont get in any other way.

[@yjwrangler7819]

I thought that myself. They should be much higher on this list.

[@ImSorryFive]

Yeah that's true.

[@Beneficiis]

4:30 is Polish Grom in Um Qwasr port - during 2003 Iraq war. It was joint op with British Royal Marines. DEVGRU wasnt even there at the time...

[@weeguy52]

no matter how many entries america has/gets they just can't seem to take the number 1 spot from the SAS but i am amazed that america get at least two or three entries always in the top 10

[@connormoynihan8191]

they are the best

[@Scandi34]

I think you are referring to the battle of Mirbat in 1972 during the Dhofar Rebellion - it is part of SAS lore. a BATT (British Army Training Team) of 9 SAS personnel and a small number of Omani soldires in a nearby fort (who did not fight) took on 200 - 300 communist "Adoo" fighters. Two of the most famous SAS men were the mighty Fijians Labalaba and Sekonia who at various stages in the battle were blasting single-handed with a 25 pounder artillery piece at the enemy at point blank range.

[@LongShue]

the aussie's SASR look fucking awesome!

[@magalegend]

Ok - Agreed on the first part . is this in the Indian / Pakistan war in the 70's was it ?

[@sammas1862]

and the operation they failed was when they infiltrated Beirut harbor and had to retreat and another time when they failed was in the six day war where 6 were taken prisoner. apparently some other operations during the six day were also ended in failure due to them not being well enough trained to deal with what was asked of them.

[@dwgangsat]

Where did you get that from???

[@weeguy52]

thats true

[@SeventhPhoenix]

You are forgetting the Italian G.I.S. they have experienced a lot of successful continuous actions at home and abroad especially in the past 30 years and are considered as among the very best counter terrorist units in the world.

[@666slipknotmetalhead]

no i love this video and im american good music and the sas are the best with training not equipment so they are the BEST

[@rohitb3]

CT-HR skills can be totally different from other skills. I know its impossible, but i try to be as accurate as possible from whatever i get from available sources.. Delta has couple of failures too, so does SBS. Didn know about Op Redwings, thanks. and its not compulsory to be in a Paras or Marines, but generally people who make it to the British SFs are from that background cause there Para/Marine trainin gives them an edge during selections.

[@snakey934Snakeybakey]

i hope to join the Saryet matkal soon :)

[@Ray-hk7be]

Did ya

[@Ateam51000]

The British SAS have by far the most experience out of any special forces. It is the SF that all others are based on and its main objective is counter-terrorism. It should definatley rank as number 1 by default.

[@ving911]

Sorry but this is something you should have known. The FIRST special forces were the Italian frogmen the COMSUBIN (aka Decima MAS) they were the model for all special forces from WWII onwards. Who do you think in WWII sunk HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Valiant in Alexandria Harbor ? And who also sunk two Austrian battleships in WWI ? They trained the US Seals at their inception. Assisted in starting equipping and training Israel's Shayetet 13. Among other equip made first bubble free rebreathers.

[@dwgangsat]

Does the COMSUBIN specialize in CT work????

[@jackmiller5675]

Alpha isn't responsible neither for gas attack in Nord-Ost in 2002, nor in rash deployment in Beslan in 2004. Those were the "big people's" mistakes, Alfa did their job well. I think it deserves at least 3rd place in rating.

[@aidiemacc6360]

I think its actually 3 years until you can go for SAS training but thanks for that.

[@rohitb3]

The Only other MASS Hostage Taking situation was 26/11 Mumbai. It was different kind of Mass hostage taking as from Moscow theatre offcourse and both should not be compared with each other, but still this one had a different set of challenges. 3 Locations were taken over by 10 Terrorists simulatenously. The terrorists were well armed with Ak-47s and Grenades and some of the best training. Over the entire Operation(Op Black Tornedo) in 50 hours, 800 out of bout 900 hostages were saved.

[@metal3677]

Look up CRPF - Central Reserve Police Force. Formed in 1939. It's not a Special Force but it is a Counter Insurgency/ Counter Terrorism unit. like a Border Police.

[@TheTemplarnight]

as much as i would love to follow those links and i'm sure they could be filled with great content i don't trust people giving me links anymore.

[@gameboy929]

type deadliest warrior navy seals vs israeli commandos & german gsg vs swat,german gsg vs navy seals..you can even find these full videos on torrents

[@rohitb3]

Actually i was saying from the Counter Terrorism -Hostage Rescue Point of view. Otherwise like a Special Operation Force(Military ops) point of view i somewhat agree except that Shayetet 13 is slightly ahead of Matkal, and SBS is much lower though in the Top 10. Check out my ranking based off Operations/Exp/Success /watch?v=yC8ztITqQvU Things may be a lil up and down though..
