Yeah I've heard seals talking about training with our s.b.s and they said they all respect the sbs because of the conditions they work in and the lack of the equipment we have, they were also impressed with the way the sbs guys would improvise when they lacked a peice of equipment. there's a reason we have the best special forces in the world and that's the men who get selected to do that job a big percentage of the sas and sbs are made up of highlanders either Scottish,Fijian or ghurkas. we kick ass when it's time to party .😂

@@RossNaylor-uq4jp Well said

RMs has a legacy. Which unit should we compare with them?

@@Grid88 I think there could be comparisons between RM and MARSOC. Also some of the SEAL teams (other than 6 / DEVGRU which is aligned with SBS).

As a former Royal it’s a tricky one as RM are primarily green army. When in a green role they are probably in part similar to SEALs as a whole, but with the teams having a wide range of CT usage the SFSG RM element is closer to SEAL teams, but we also have Mountain leaders who Are super elite and Squadron Reconnaissance Teams (SRTs), so we have elements that are more specialized so it’s not like for like - but Royal marine basic training is the longest and most arduous basic training in the world and even our band members do it as a commando first then a band member. So 1% of people are capable of becoming a Royal marine and we often trained with seal teams and MARSOC so it’s hard to know where we fit lol

@@andydavies9699 Was hoping you could clear up something here that still has me confused. Wikipedia also says RM training is the longest infantry training of all NATO countries, but every source says 32 weeks (8 months). US Pararescue takes 2 years to complete. German KSK, 4 years. SAS & Delta (if memory serves) 9 months. I'm not understanding how it works out to the longest.

Royal Marines are not Army anything. They're part of the Royal Navy. Recently, RM basic has been increased to 36 weeks. That qualifies the Marine as a "General duties" Marine, as in, Navy equivalent of a Field Army Rifleman. After that, the Marine can go on to do specialist training in a variety of roles.

I can name you quite a few former operators that are public now

You can't even get basic facts straight and you come along with the phrase "sorry yanks but it's true"? Dev doesn't recruit from the USMC!!

All the gear and no idea is certainly true in this case. You probably have a top-tier keyboard to spout your nonsense. I've served alongside the US military, and there is no difference in professionalism between us and the septics. A different approach, perhaps, but that's it. But you wouldn't know that as you've never served a day in your life, have you.

Thank you. Pls share the video.

Such kind of purpose surely makes them elite of the elite! Tip of the trident

Money and tools don't substitute skill, they enhance it. DEVGUR is what the SBS is with more training, money and resources.....and book deals

Dev doesn't recruit from guys off the street. Where tf did you get than sht from?

That true, you don't need to be a soldier to become a Navy SEAL. But UK Special Forces are only selected from EXISTING soldiers. So, they truly are best of the best!

@@burgundycommander7589 i didn't say DEV Group recruits off the street. The white side SEALS do. Why do you make up shit?

@@archangel0137 stop comparing regular Seals to UKSF. Devgru only selects from Seals. You people know so little yet talk with so much confidence.

He said nothing about them being "far superior" i any way shape or form. He was literally talking about their humor

Lol, you Brits have to literally compare tier 3 SEALs to your tier 1 just to be equal/better. Tells you who is better. News flash, he was from vanilla SEAL TEAM, not DEVGRU Meanwhile, we have an SAS operator outright say that Delta was better during a training exercise. Delta Force DOMINATES The SAS- David Hookstead- look it up Cheers.

@@ssgtomen621 don’t be dense. Seals aren’t tier 3, they’re tier 2. Do you even know what the tier system implies? Ut has to do with the amount of funding a unit gets. Lindsay Bruce is only referring to shooting skills when he ways that they are “better”. He even gives the reason. By that time, his squadron had’t served time in Special projects yet, which is CT training, meaning that shooting is the nb 1 focus. U like the SAS, Delta force have CT training part of their selection called OTC. Delta force in general sets much more importance on shooting than the SAS do, because pretty much their soul tasks, unlike the SAS

@burgundycommander7589 Fully aware of JSOC tier system. Point, vanilla seals are not comparable to the SBS. In some lose equivalent, that video link is misleading by equating tier 3( yes, I believe SEALs are tier 3, or not oh well, learn and let live) to the level of SBS, which is just not true. DEVGRU would be more comparable, and no shooter from any JSOC unit has admitted that the SAS/SBS are better. High praise, but never better... True, but all the same, you have a comparable organization, an SAS shooter who has already gone through the process provide insight on what is already been long established. Before or after, it's expected. Delta is just next level in CQB. Which is more than what that dude with is cheap could offer. Mate, thanks for the added context. Though, i got to add that CAG is multi disciplined, not just in shooting. Their troops/squadrons are trained in more than just HR and CT, like the SAS, go through additional training post OTC in specific skills- Special Recon, mountain warfare, Jungle warfare course and other specialized school within the US and abroad.

@@ssgtomen621 i never justified comparing regular seals to SBS. And they’re tier 2. I don’t know where you’re getting the notion that they’re tier 3. In terms of role, sure Dev is a better comparison but in terms of selection, Delta is more comparable to SBS. It’s a well established fact that Delta are the best shooters, and they are so for a reason. You get good but with repetition. More repetitions = more time. Deltas primary role is CT. Of course they have smaller elements who specialise in other skillsets, but overall they’re not as much as an allrounder like the SAS/SBS are. The US has the means to have 2 units fully dedicated to CT. The UKSF doesn’t have as many units like USSOCOM and JSOC does. The US has the numbers and funds to have many different units specialised in specific tasks, the UK doesn’t. That’s why the SAS do CT rotations. Also unlike JSOC, the UKSF also has to fulfil domestic obligations. You’re basing your opinion on whether or not operators say certain things. JSOC members not saying whether or not UKSF is better means nothing. UKSF doesn’t have OTC. They have continuation training after selection. Delta OTC is part of their selection a d it revolves around CT, just like Green Team. That just further solidifies my point that they are CT dedicated units.

Why?

Lols!

Won more wars than the yanks, they can't win on their own!

England does not have a military, the United Kingdom does. If you can't get even basic information correct, what makes you think you have the knowledge necessary to assess the quality of the UK's military?

@@stevebarlow3154 kid sorry but, your wrong... England has a military, Scotland has a military, north/south Ireland wales etc Great Britain, the united kingdom doesn't have a military... however co-operation between nations does exist & Scotland & England can/do act together, with the welsh Irish, but we're not a singular force (think of it like nato, even the UN... nations acting together) yes in recent yrs Scotland/Ireland have refused to send troops into area's they fail to agree with our English governments ideas, thoughts etc The united kingdom doesn't have a military force, it has a co-operation of nations..... hence when military conflicts arise, English units attend, Scottish could attend only if the Scottish government agree to sent its troops & so-on... in short the English government doesn't have powers over & above other British nations!!.... this person zaro7808 "really don't care" fails to realise the American's would have nothing unless our units trained there's originally, now the american forces as a whole are better funded then our british counterparts "that doesn't mean there better" as we see all the time american special forces failing, being killed, happily breaking classified data breaches etc as they expect recognition, to be known etc.. out forces dont "now realise who's more professional" then see how our underfunded forces have more successful missions, then the americans, much less deaths per percentage of ppl in theatre & so-on... ultimately this chap "England has the worst military" this person is clueless, witless & brainless

not really the SBS is part of the navy, just as the SAS is part of the army & yes there are elite branches of these you will hardly ever hear about "if ever at all!" unlike the americans who will happily stand with a news reporter & have a live interview at the scene after a contact, then sign a film contract to produce a grossly false image & historical fact less film depicting the American acts of valour. marine commando's & para's also have higher elite regiments again, you don't hear about, the army also have such ie "path finders" these train with the SAS/SBS, this channel is just yet another praise american forces & push aside anyone else...... I'd even say look further afield & you'll also barely hear of other nations special forces, there missions, abilities etc as they dont promote them, dont talk about them & so-on Black hawk down... maybe look into the actual events rather then believe the film horse men.... zero dark thirty lone survivor the list goes on, even saving private Ryan.... many facts are fake, false... then also ask why has america refused to obey the international war crimes commission &so-on, making there military a self served force why by no-one is at the risk of international convictions, hearings etc for war crimes

The fck are you talking about? Devgru isn't part of the Seal teams. It's a completely separate entity. The SBS is a unit just like Devgru is
