American reaction to British SAS Soldiers vs US Navy Seals - Military Training Comparison. As an American myself, you'd probably assume that I would be jumping up and down enthusiastically yelling, "USA, USA, USA!" Nope, not his guy. I would like to consider I am pretty objective. What you think? What do you think about the video and reaction? Pretty accurate representation of the British SAS? Let me know. Thanks guys!

Agreed. They basically fulfill different roles. Both elite, but SAS/SBS/Delta are more 'subtle' in their brutality and are trained as individual operators who work in a team and often operate in positions more commonly associated with intelligence/spies, as opposed to the SEALs who generally (some are more like SAS/Delta, and just as effective in all roles) more 'regular' in their operational use and command structure while also being exceptional warriors. Either way, meeting any of them in anger is going to make your day somewhat more difficult :)

Some years ago, I was part of the hunt team during an SAS evasion final assessment, because I was in the Mountain Rescue team and knew the area like the back of my hand. There were about 20 SAS to be hunted and dozens of us hunting them. We knew the area: they didn't. We caught 3 of them. Afterwards, one of the successful ones told me that I'd spent 2 minutes on the radio to other hunters with my feet about 1 foot from the ditch he was in and I didn't spot him. The SAS are not human.

Had the pleasure of meeting an ex SAS guy during a business trip, he spoke very well of American special forces and respected and admired them having trained with them but said many would probably not all pass the SAS selection because they are to big physically, many SAS soldiers are very lean or average build but incredibly fit especially for endurance and were of a hard mindset before even joining the army he also smiled and said being lean and mean allows you to blend in with the background and you don't stand out as much so you present less of a target, skilfully trained to use cunning, brains and then extreme violence when necessary. I got the feeling that what he told me was just the tip of the iceberg.

I was part of the training team in Southern Germany known as the LRRP school. We dealt with many students. But one guy always comes to mind. He was a member of the French Foreign Legion. He was only about 5' 4' tall, lean and well tanned. Throughout all of the the training he had a big smile on his face, especially during the interrogation faze. After the course was finished and we sat down to few beers I asked him why he always looked so happy. He told me that this was the hardest course he had ever been on, but he knew if he kept on smiling, he would p#ss us off. Now THAT was a soldier.

I'd agree with that. I was an infantry soldier in the british army. And worked beside many different troops from different nations. And had the privilege of some training exercises with the sas. Anyway, when working with the US marines, who were good soldiers, but they honestly couldn't keep up with us. This was due to their size, they were all massive muscly dudes which doesn't bode well when soldiering.

@GrS I can absolutely guarantee that the guy I met on my business trip was ex SAS soldier I spent a week with him and other army veterans that were there at the same time knew him and they told me that he was a highly decorated former member of the Regiment, although you could walk past him in the street and not realise what or who he was and by the way he did not glorify or boast about being a former special forces member, it was the others that told me and I did ask him and he confirmed it plus some other little non operational nuggets of info about himself. The training he gave me in relation to my business was so detailed ( all non military I hasten to add ) it could only have been given by a true professional, I also know his name and I also know of one very famous well documented military operation that he took part in but that I'm afraid stays with me.

They may have a competitive rivalry between each other, but the the oppinion of anyone outside the 2 units, on who is better, would mean nothing to them, because anyone outside would not have a clue what they are talking about.

I'm now 59 and I went through SAS selection in the 1980s. I failed to get in and was returned to unit. All I can say is that the selection removes around 95% of all applicants. It involves walking, and walking and walking. It was hell. At nearly 60 years of age I'm not ashamed to admit that I cried and being rtu'd was a relief. I have so much admiration for those who get through.

'Back in the day' (no longer in touch with people since I left the country) Brecon Mountain Rescue used to train using crampons and axes all year round for rapid ascent, and safe descent, of the rather steep muddy slopes. I grew up with the Welsh mountains, with the beacons in sight for most of that time (or the clouds covering them) and trained a lot up there. They are, shall we say, 'challenging' and one of the worst places I have had to do survival training.

I came from an extended military family and I was in the Royal Berks Army cadets as a kid. Joining the armed forces back in my youth very few if any knew of 'special forces' We recognised paras and marines as different to other regiments and they were tough. Personally I wanted to go into the tank corps but my old man wouldnt sign the papers in case i was shoved into a foreign war. We had not long been out of WW2 Korea and Suez conflicts with other stuff going on in the middle east as well. He did however consent to me joining the Royal Navy. Best move I ever made. I saw so much of the world and so many different people..and got a nice tan. As a tanky I would probably have been stuck on the Rhine with Elvis freezing my nuts off!! 😁

A friend of mine who was in the SAS who died of cancer told me a little bit about their training. He said that training in so many different harsh environments from arctic, jungle and deserts was tough. The worst though was the Brecon Beacons hike in Wales and the mental and physical torture. Although he gave me a small insight into how harsh it was he never told me any particular details of his training or discussed any actual combat missions. What I do know is that a lot of things you hear about the SAS now in the media he told me before it was common knowledge. I don’t know anything about the special forces in the USA but I know you have to be one tough soldier both mentally and physically to join the SAS. 95% fail to make the grade and quite a lot die trying.

SAS recruit from established ground forces, the majority, although not exclusively coming from the parachute regiment. They already have basic battle and weapons skills and are assessed on their existing service and combat records before they even get to the selection process. SEALS are drawn from seaman who have the most basic of weapons and landwarefare training. They start from scratch. This gives an SAS trooper a serious advantage regarding experience compared with a SEAL.
@banjo6685
@banjo6685 Год назад
The SAS will always have the advantage because they are battle-hardened. Whereas SEALS are tested on their first deployment and that's when it can unravel. I was posted straight from training camp to Northern Ireland in the early 70s without the benefit of the six-month training afforded the regiment, to say it was a shock to the system would be a considerable understatement, and I was expected to act if I knew what was doing!

As thought back then xray not find anything. Split ftom ex in 01, trained for SAS Signals pumping pills and deep heat, as still thought it not serious. The jump caused a load of irreversible damage, and the previous issue, was bought forward also. So instead of problems in 50s or 60s etc. They all were hitting at 31. I didnt really feel to much pain after, as my normal pain from pre issue must've masked it. So I was able tonget back training after a 2 week rest. Then went onto the June selection. That's when my body let me know it wasnt playing nice anymore. I got another xray, no sign. But mri was something that went deeper. I knew something wrong. As last 3yrs in full time civvy job I had 18 months off (y weeks here 9 to 12 weeks there etc). 03 to 06 company threatening to get rid of me. I'm begging for mri to a gp not helping. 06 lost job declared homeless and the lot, still no mri so no evidence for disabilty benefit from 06 to 2015. Took til 2010 to finally get mri cause crappy gp on the sick. Two doors down in same surgery a new gp gave me mri. That's when I finally got vindicated from being called a fake and liar from ex etc. 5 surgery's 2011 to 2015. Had huge case to sue nhs. But sane gp ruined myblife, saved it 4 weeks after my 5th op. As delayed hospital superbug jumped into my blood stream as dormant. I almost died in front parents. So he ruined life, and saved it. So notbsue nhs as old school (I live in really difficult situation, and kick myself now and then, as I know it would've been a totally different story if I sued, as so much proof and documentation to prove. I'm just to chivalrous for my own good lol. Sorry only a small chunk of my journey, but thought I'd mention incase you had follow up question. Finally git PIP disabled after 9yr battle. Only got placed on right PIP and esa levels last Yr after a further 7 to 8 yr battle being treated conducive to my needs upto that point. As degenerative no cure, and damage done having to continue doing pt time work and other things I shouldn't have when gp never helped. If treated in 03 with mri. My life be a totally different story. Company wouldve given duty of care with mri proof. Not forced out, but full medical and redundancy. Less damage so mightve been able to do a little volunteering or pt time role. Unfortunately cause the crappy gp never helped. My issues went to far behind the help. The rest is way to much to explain.

My father was station with the SAS at Hereford and a friend of mine was a Major there, plus I knew several others. On the outside they look like any other athlete, but on the inside when working they are a closed book of incredible knowledge, stamina, endurance and discipline. In Hereford there is a pub run by an former Sargent and others use the pub too. There is never any trouble in that pub as these guys eat bouncers for breakfast 😅. The place in Wales where the long hike in full pack takes place is the Brecons, an unforgiving place that’s much harder than it looks in full pack, as the weather can turn quickly, and often does. My book ‘Your Numbers Up’ is based on a former SAS Soldier.

My dad has an old friend he grew up with in Aberdeen who went on to serve in the SBS (SBS do the same selection as SAS). I remember talking to him about this exact subject. He said the Americans were very good soldiers but had difficulty acting independently and didn't have the state of mind that the Brits did. He said that the main difference between selection and training of the two nations SF was in how they were treated and communicated to by officers/training staff. The Americans get lots of encouragement/discouragement depending on the situation. They get told if they performed well or failed a task. The Brittish SF selection deliberately give zero encouragement or discouragement, they dont give feedback and they dont give clear objectives either. I.E you have to walk from this map coordinate to this one, it's 50miles but they won't give a time limit and they won't tell you what you will be doing when you get there, so you have to walk as fast as you can the whole way with no idea if you are within the time limit or if you need to save energy for when you reach the destination. This kind of psychological training/testing continues the entire selection and adds a whole new layer to the individual that most USSF forces do not incorporate. For example hell week in the navy seals in 5.5 days of brutality. In the SAS they wouldn't tell you how long it was, if you gave up 30sec before the end they would take your armband tell you to fuck off then end the exercise.

Great reaction! Ha ha! 😂 The age comment had me dying James! Yeah, I’d be ok for everything else they throw at you - it’s the age that’d stop me too!😂 Then you killed me off with the outtakes at the end! 😂 I always think the most terrifying part of the training is ‘resistance to interrogation techniques’ training! The video mentioned it but didn’t elaborate too much - probably for the best! Large Parts of this training happen overseas - I’ve heard people say that it’s because the techniques they use in training will mirror the actual experience in ‘the field’ (sorry, captain obvious here lol!) and to do this to the trainees on uk soil would be illegal. It’s that bad!!! We can imagine what enemies would do to extract information once they had a special ops soldier captive! So now imagine what the training must be like to teach you how NOT to give that information away, while all sorts of awful things are happening! There’s a TV show called SAS Who Dares Wins, here in the uk. There have been quite a few series now (celeb and non-celeb versions) that takes 16(ish?) people and puts them through some of the exercises needed to pass SBS training. It’s actually really good, it’s obviously got the usual BS that all reality tv has, but my husband is ex-military (not SAS/SBS) and says lots of the exercises on there are genuinely what they put you through in training. The hosts are ex special forces and talk about the training, ops they were on etc. If you’re interested in that type of thing, you should check it out!

There are a couple of really good SAS 'TV' (whatever) series that you can probably stream. SAS Rogue Warriors is a documentary - with some old footage and interviews from some of the original SAS chaps - narrated by Ben MacIntyre. Really interesting. Shows the troublesome gestation and birth - and final rebirth of the SAS. SAS Rogue Heroes is a more 'drama' based series but equally enlightening and very entertaining. You might be able to stream for free or they maybe a few dollars... or you can get a VPN going. :) Both showed here in the UK starting a couple of months ago. If you want to see some SAS 'in country' (UK) action go look at the Iranian embassy (in London) siege in 2002... there is a film / movie that covers it but you will also find footage online of the boys going in to the embassy from BBC or whatever camera crews. I trained an SBS guy who had been retired after injury (it was some IT training) - lovely guy but you knew he was not to be messed about with, barrel chested and solid as a rock and light on his feet.

The seals are a force to be reckoned with, capable and efficient in every way, they work in groups and can usually call upon significant back up. The SAS also work in small groups are significantly more secretive but the difference is an individual SAS operator is capable of being inserted into any environment where they can blend in with a population and conduct Intel gathering. As was seen in Nairobi a single operator can and will work independent of backup and make a significant impact on many scenarios.

SAS generally works in groups of 4, has excellent language skills, and works on the basis of making friends with the natives who can then be used for a source of food, material, intelligence, etc. One will often have extra medic training up to and including helping women give birth and field surgery. Depending on the situation, another might have extra engineering skills, and while in the field, they will often cross train amongst themselves, so if one goes down, that skill set is not lost.

I more or less grew up with a bloke that joined the Special Air Service. He was a little older than I, but I knew him well. After he left home to join the Regular Army, the British Army, he turned up back home, having quit the Basic Training. A few weeks later he decided to give it another go, and fair play to him ended up not only passing but eventually becoming a part of the best we have. People die in training in all Armies around the world. The SAS train using live ammunition. They became rather better known to the public after the 1980 Iranian Embassy Siege in London. The SAS are on record as saying that whilst political negotiations were going on, to resolve the siege, the soldiers themselves were hoping that the talks would fail - so that they could put their training to some use. Though I myself am English I must say that the British SAS are well represented by our friends north of the border in Scotland. It`s very difficult not to be biased. Ask any random person in the world which has the best Special Force in the world and they`ll more than likely chose their own country as having the best. I think the difference about the SAS is that they like being thrown into what they trained for.

One reason the FFL has such a reputation for toughness is that, at least in times past, their training gave no thought at all to the risk of injury to recruits because, who cares, they are just foreigners and we will get a new truck load soon anyway.

There are no inexperienced soldiers in the SAS. The SAS recruits from soldiers who are already fully trained, mostly but not exclusively, from the infantry (many of them Parachute Regiment). Their closest (friendly) rivals, the SBS, recruit exclusively from the Royal Marines. Anyone in the British Army may volunteer for SAS selection but the majority will not make it. As a percentage, there are far more SBS compared to the size of their recruitment pool but then again their recruitment pool is the Royal Marines who are a relatively small organisation and already one of the toughest military organisations around.

My stepson is a British marine, hes based in scotland and when he comes back to derbyshire on leave he brings his boots and a bergen, fillis it with weights and goes up into the peak district national park on 20 mile speed marches. Last time he was home he said he was going to try out for the SAS. I know hes fit enough so asked him how he thinks he will get on with the capture and interrogation part. He said he didnt know but he knows it will be tough he has been forewarned that he will have to sign a waiver of his human rights. He laughed when he told me that but I doubt he was joking.

You might like to take a look at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CAejENocQB0.html to get an idea of just how efficient the SAS can be. One interesting thing to note, the film "Patriot Games" actually gets something "bang on" - the US tend to use the SAS for their covert "wet work" for plausible deniability reasons (likewise the UK reportedly has access to SEAL teams for the same reason). One thing about the SAS (not certain whether SEALs are the same) - they're highly trained stone killers - and damn good at their job. If the SAS are sent in, then you can expect very few captives (if any) - they're sent in to efficiently remove the enemy, that's it.

A friend of mines father was part of the original North African desert SAS in WW2 ( he had a half page obituary in the Times when he died so no bull). When he returned to England after the war he wanted to better himself financially (my friend had 9 brothers so he would have needed the cash). He was based in Portsmouth but the college he wanted to attend was in Putney (SW London) a distance of around 70 miles. He couldn’t afford the rail fair so he simply cycled every day !

Well, the title says reacts and he certainly reacted. Open-mouthed amazement at deaths in training. Training accidents happen even during basic training and yes, even the occasional death. In fact, even active SF personnel can be injured or die during ongoing training. The largest one I remember was the Queensland Black Hawk crash in 1996. Two helicopters (out of six) collided in mid-air and crashed, almost taking another with them. There were about thirty soldiers on board. Eighteen died including both Aviation Corps pilots. PS I was never in the services but friends and family have, going back to WW2 and Viet Nam. (Edited)

@ReferenceFidelityComponents
Respect to anyone passing either course. I did my training with the British Infantry in the 1980’s and whilst tough it wasn’t a patch on the paras course or marines training, none of which was a patch on what you had to do to qualify for the SAS. The big difference though between navy seals and SAS is you know exactly what you’re in for and can train for it with the Seals long before applying. The SAS selection and training is not something you can mentally prepare for. You either have it or you don’t. Controlled aggression and strength of endurance, individual thought and strategic thinking to get you out of any situation. You never know when each phase will end because you’re not told. You can be ten seconds from the end of 6 months selection and training, screw up and get kicked out. It’s immense and no other force in the world does it quite the same. It took the army a long tome to learn lessons from special forces training but the benefits of soldiers who can think and act independently and bring something to the table in a tight spot as well as remain disciplined and professional has filtered down to the regular army. It’s still the case, just, that our army remains one of the most professional and effective as individual soldiers, compared with any other. It has to be since our government keeps slashing its numbers to below militia strength!

There's loads of videos if you search SAS who dares wins although the show isn't very good anymore since they got rid of Ant Middleton and replaced him with an American Marine so look for older videos.

The New Zealand SAS which is very similar to the British was given a presidential commendation after the first Gulf war. Whichever president Bush that was described Commonwealth SAS as a war winning capability. The New Zealand SAS has never failed a mission. There were in Viet Nam as well as other theatres of war. I did hear of one mission where they had the job of sneaking into the VC camp and loosening the sump plugs on their vehicles. A friend of mine in the regular army in the UK was in an exercise with the SAS as the enemy. One morning they all woke up in their sleeping bags with stickers on the their chests saying "killed by the SAS". My son was discussing special forces with an American marine. My son said "How about Commonwealth SAS?". The Marine flinched and said "Those guys are crazy.".

It's not a true comparison. The SAS and SBS are Tier 1. The regular Navy Seals are more equivalent to the Royal Marines. A more equivalent to the SAS are Delta Force who Colonel Charles Beckwith formed after serving for a time with the SAS, the SBS are more equivalent to Seal team 6. Though both SAS and SBS are more equivalent to both Delta and Seal team 6. The SAS have Four troops of specialisation, Air Troop, Boat Troop, Mountain Troop and mobility Troop. A,B ,D & G squadron. The Navy Seals were formed in a similar way to the SAS. The U.S realised they had no comparison specialised unit so sent Top brass to learn wot the SAS done then SEAL Team was formed though like I said regular Seals are more equivalent to Royal Marines. While Delta and Seal team 6 are more equivalent to SAS and SBS.
