I know very little about either of these units, so based purely on flavor I'm saying SAS. I find this decently interesting though, because I was quite unaware that the Seals were that elite
I was always under the impression that the 1st-SFOD (Delta) is US's top and not DEVGRU. But then again, I'm not American so I won't know.
As for the two, I pick SAS. Historically speaking, they had better feats. Though to be logical, I don't think any special forces team would really brag all their accomplishments. So in the end, I wouldn't know anything.
Anyone knows how the Sayeret Matkal and the Shaldag Unit of Israel would fare against these guys?
The british do not comment on sas missions and unlike our american counterparts we have carried out hundreds of top secret mission that the pubic just will not hear about. 2003 - iraq the americans had to ask the british sas to find missile sites so that the americans could bomb them. Reasons why they didn't use their own guys? because they haven't had good enough training full stop. The sas has the longest basic training in the world with the lowest pass rate of 2% . For all the idiot who think the americans have better equipment so therefore better overall, Its bullshit.. The sas are the only british unit that can choose what weapons they have, Yes including the top secret sniper rifle that only the british sas use. The same weapon is recorded to have the worlds longest sniper kill. At this time there isnt a special forces that would even stand a chance against the sas.
This is like asking "who would win a fight, an American or a Brit? " They both have the best equipment in the world, both groups have elite training and both train all the time to maintain their skills. So it basically comes down to who you think is cooler and who has more mystique or notoriety.
trust me... if you give our men let's say swords & muskets.... and bring them back in the past via time machine. would they win?
500 modern infantry (with classic weapons) vs 500 red coats
Bro, do you even history?
French And Indian War, General Braddock and his 2000 got their arse handed to them from about a 1000 French and some Native American warriors from the Iroquois nation.
They prefer neither because they don't know who Captain Britain really is, but they know that Captain Britain is made by Americans. And they don't like Captain America at all because he's American.
Probably accurate 3-5 years ago, Captain America is a lot more popular these days though due to the movies.
and I'd say a lot of the unpopularity was centered around the perceived "blind patriotism" factor more than just him being an American.
Captain Britain may have been better known in the late 70s early 80s here, but that is before my time.
There is NO POSSIBLE WAY to test this as no one has ever been both and operated with both, so no one knows the expertise and skills that both have.
Also, a fight between two groups of people depend largely on the individuals. The most skilled Marines on Earth could probably beat your average Navy Seal.
But if I had to choose, I'd choose SAS, for the pure fact that it is a land based fight, not in a Maritime environment, and the SAS are an army base SF. A better comparison would be Rangers vs SAS. Though the SEALS are very well trained all round.
Aren't Navy Seals, more like, I dunno, Navy units? I don't see how they could win against land units. I know nothing about modern day army stuff tho, so don't shoot me if I'm wrong please : P. My interest in warfare stops around Napoleonic times : P

The seals is for sea, air and land. They're really really really crazy well trained for all three.
