It is NOT the equivalent of anything... It is the S.A.S.........
+1 Some foreign elements have their own-brand version of the SAS. But it's Coca Cola to Diet Pepsi.
S.A.S. is the bar for all SFs and none come close. Harsh but true.
When he said the equivalent of the American navy seals I almost lost it 😂 no mate, the SAS are leagues above them. And that shows you how highly reguarded the sas are, as the Navy seals are fucking badasses 😂
😂
From what I understand (and correct me if I'm wrong), the SEALS are equivalent to the British Royal Marines in skillset. Only a subset of the American Delta Force, of which I can't remember the name, can claim to come close to being a worthy comparison. The SEALS have just been bigged up as the best, through American movies and television.
@@SirHilaryManfat spot on lad
@@SirHilaryManfat Seal Team Six (properly known as the Naval Special Warfare Development Group) are up there with the SAS and Delta in terms of training. The rest of the SEAL units are just very good soldiers - like the Royal Marines.
Correct delta was created when a US general heard and saw how the SAS work . As an ex Delta operitive said there recruitment is exzactly based on the SAS. @SirHilaryManfat
The more you learn about the SAS the more you will realise the difference to the Navy seals.
#1 difference: SAS does not make themselves a big fucking deal... They exist, they do the job and that is it. None of that "huuraa" nonsense.
@lynette. and in Armani jeans too :)
Equivalent to seals would be SBS
@@peterleigh7485 SBS have to pass SAS training amd go om for several months longer. The SAS and SBS do all their selection on their own not in groups like Seals
@@peterleigh7485equivalent would be Royal Marines, not SBS
SAS are the grandfather of all special forces all others learned from the sas
The SAS was born from the Commandos, as was the SBS.
No they didn't!
Research the Brandenburgers and see who is the Grandad!
@@ianmatthews3041 yes they are
@@elizabethmcintyre8529 That was quick!
Look up Brandenburgers they were in operations in 1939!
@@elizabethmcintyre8529 Look up Brandenburgers!
They were doing things the week before WW2 started so they have about three years on SAS!
They made a show called SAS rogue heroes which was about how the SAS was born.. its a awesome watch
"I heard you men are rather good at killing people"
Our SAS boys & your Navy SEAL guys often get together with other allied forces for drills, training & exercises . On one such get together the Seal team had a banner up outside of their barracks which read "U.S Navy SEALS Second to none"... A little further down was the SAS barracks which also diplayed a banner... Theirs simply read "None"... 😀
SAS motto, embroidered on their kit - "Who dares wins" The first, the toughest, the best in the world 🇬🇧
Or the unofficial motto is who cares who win, it all about the fight/ mission.
Nastiness and jealousy gets you know where
@@elizabethmcintyre8529 Nastiness and jealousy from who and directed to whom?? I wonder if you could please explain. Thanks.

@@markS2503 Thanks. The first reply is not exactly English. I suppose if I re-read it I can perhaps decipher what the writer was attempting to convey.
Met a few serving and retired SAS and worked with one for years - he had a really different walk. Hard to describe it - it wasn’t particularly fast just constant and I realised he could have walked for 24 hours without stopping.
SAS are the best in the world! 🇬🇧
On par with the SBS.
@@malpa2345 Even the competitions amongst the elites in other countries SAS won so many times they had to stop going.😅
Who do you think they send in to rescue the special teams, along with the one or two others….anywhere, anytime…
@@william6682Not quite pal,,there are 4 independent squadrons in the S.A.S,,,A,B,D and G squadrons and an anti terrorism team based in Britain 🏴🇬🇧.

Simon didn't mention that the Iranian embassy was completed in 11 minutes
There is no equivalent to the SAS. They are what other SF forces want to be
the SAS taught the Americans all they know for special forces stuff
And the yanks still can't get it right.
They didn't! But they train and operate together regularly!
@garagenigel But the UK brew is best....important factor
I have been told that the British special forces,, because lower in number compared to our cousins the Americans,
Have constant training,,, because the budget is totally focused on the few.
Royal marines train the marine corps in arctic warfare,,,, again a few have intensive training.
The U.S marine corps is bigger than our complete standing army.
( That's quite frightening,, don't want to piss off the septics,, or we would be done for)
🇬🇧❤️🇱🇷🙏
@@user-xv1gn7yk3t nobody can beat Britain anymore technically we are nuclear armed
'Is the SAS the equivalent ... ' Nope, no one is the equivalent of the SAS, we were the first and are still the best,.
Hiya. Watch the BBC tv drama series 'SAS Rogue Heroes'. The events depicted were toned down for the episodes because it was thought the audience wouldn't believe it if what actually happened for real was depicted. Stay safe. All the best to you.
Seals work in water ..... The SAS fucking walk on it !!!
😂😂
Very proud of the SAS and SBS - they're simply the best!
'Equivalent' you say .... ' A cut above' we say!!!
Shackleton sailed a lifeboat from Elephant Island, where the survivors had got to after the Endurance sank, to South Georgia. The lifeboat, the James Caird, landed on the south shore of South Georgia, but the occupied settlements were on the north shore of the island. So Shackleton walked across the mountains to the settlement of Stromness, making the first land crossing of the island.
The sas are the world’s dogs bollocks! Every single special forces unit are based on the originals. I know some navy seals and they don’t hold a candle…
Really?
@@stewartmackay Yes really!
Can I help you finish your sentance "don’t hold a candle…to the girl guides".
@davidstewart9701 They are better overall, but they're all top of the game
Mate the people that do this break all conventions. Nothing is impossible to them. I'm still aching from it and I'm 62 now.
A helicopter tilts its rotor forwards, so part of the force is downwards to keep it in the air, and part of the force is backwards, to push the aircraft forwards.
To achieve forward flight in a helicopter, the plane of rotation of the rotor is tipped forward. (It should be understood that the helicopter's rotor mast does not tip but rather the individual rotor blades within the plane of rotation have their pitch angle varied.) This increases lift as the rotor is at the rear and decreases it in the direction of movement.
The rotor disk is tilted
You are all right
SAS are in their own league, they fartherd Special Forces such as Delta team, French SF, australian SF and many more. The coldest quote ever came from an SAS capitan when asked about forgiveness - 'its upto god to forgive bad people, we just arrange the meeting'...
One of the most bad*ss SAS stories I've read. There was a group of SAS in enemy territory in Afghanistan, who had unfortunately run out of ammo after a 6 hour battle. Refusing to surrender, they decided to charge at the enemy soldiers with spades and other blunt instruments before using the guns of the fallen enemy.
'We've run out of ammo. Let's go get some more...'
A para I knew was on the way to the Falklands. He was utterly delighted to hear the Gurkhas were coming too. He said he hoped they ran out of ammunition. What?! Why would you say that? "Because the little devils go in with their kukris" (he didn't say devils, but this is a family show 😂)
@@911scTargaGurkha's, screaming "AYO GHURKALI!!!" is terrifying especially with their kukris
Recently the Navy Seals offered to help the SAS at considerable risk to themselves. The SAS didn't need their help, but they offered and would've helped if necessary. In my book that makes them bloody good highly skilled and very brave blokes. 🏴🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧
The British special forces have a big advantage of being formed over 80 years ago and all modern special forces base their training on the sas selection process
Conner while Paddy Maine was in charge of the SAS in france some of his men were trapped in a town at the end of a street by German soldiers , so Paddy got his record player ( just happens to have it with him ) put a record on full volume and ordered his driver to drive down the street to his men whilst firing his machine guns at the Germans , once he got to his men he ordered them to follow him in their jeeps down the street to safety while he was yet again firing at the Germans, everyone got out safely.
His men recommended him for the VC but he got nothing because " there wasn't another officer that witnessed the action" .
Look up Paddy Maine in the SAS for a all action man.
David sterling.paddy main.irishmen and scotsmen.
Hi Connor, Paddy Maine took over command of the SAS after David Stirling was captured, and in one air-field raid, when he had run out of bombs, he disabled one plane by ripping the instrument panel out with his bare hands. The bombs they used were called Lewis bombs, invented by another SAS legend Jock Lewis, coated in thick axle-grease so they would stick to any surface. Simon could've mentioned the battle of Mirbat Oman in 1972, 9 SAS troopers against 300 to 400 Dhofari rebels, or maybe the Dusit D2 siege in Nairobi 2018, were one off duty SAS trooper earned himself the nickname "Obi Wan Nairobi", and became a character in "Call of Duty, modern Warfare".
Paddy was from Newtownards 🇬🇧
Paddy Maine came from my regiment, The Royal Ulster Rifles, before joining the SAS (Quis Separabit ☘)
And another famous Royal Ulster Rifle soldier , Sgt Labalaba, was very much involved in the battle of Mirbat, Oman.
Paddy Mayne, and David Stirling among others all badasses
5:03 sas were moving the hostages out of the building in a line and he tryied to hide among the other hostages not saying anything one of the sas operators spotted the top part of the granande in his hand and wacked him over his head with the mp5 so he fell down the stairs.
SBS are like your Navy seals. Helicopters tilt the main rotorhead to move in the direction they want to go in. Oman Mirbat is an interesting SAS operation I think 4 VC medals there.
Connor, If you watch the original sas video, you'll witness the funny side of the sas having a Brew , cuppa tea, in the middle of a fire fight, drinking tea firing his gun 😂😂😂
Never start a fight in a pub in Hereford
Or Poole
Or Tidworth, or Catterick for that matter 😂😂😂
Just for clarity, although I'm no expert, the SAS are an airborne unit primarily so they're more comparable with America's Delta Force (who based their unit precisely on the British SAS). The SBS, or Special Boat Service, are more like Navy Seals although they're specifically more akin to Seal Team 6 (DEVGRU). The French Foreign Legion is something else altogether.
You are wring, although the Parachute regiments do provide many candidates for selection
David Sterling was very much like the narrator. They referred to those operations as "going off on a jolly". The book "SAS: Rogue Heroes" by Ben Macintyre is a really good read/listen about how they formed and their operations during ww2
I recall the Iranian Embassy Siege and the SAS storming the building. In a sort of overture to its subsequent repellent history of abysmal stupidities when covering UK forces, the loathsome BBC with its customary hubris, actually continued to irresponsibly broadcast live coverage of the building's exterior while SAS men abseiled down onto a balcony while the operation was still in progress.
Special Boat Service? The SAS and SBS together comprise UK Special Forces and I understand the two both operate together and independently.
Governments will say they have equivalents to the SAS but that’s not what Navy Seals have said many times in interviews n podcasts..they say the SAS are the best on the planet and that’s why they do training with them and in the same environment as the SAS use
17:40 No credit to them. They’re so stupid they still say the Islands are theirs which is just embarrassing
In the states, it is the Delta forces that are your equivalent to the SAS, your navy seals are called Royal Marines over here.
That'll be the SBS mate.
Seals are equivalent to Royal marines here...
There training is weak in comparison.
The aircraft carrier the Argentinian's had was an ex-British carrier we sold them I'm not certain but from memory I think it was formerly HMS Colosus. As to why they invaded, part of the reason may have been we'd scrapped our last larger carrier back a few years earlier, HMS Ark Royal, so no longer had full blown naval interceptors (F4 Phantoms). There's a lengthy video on here somewhere where Eric Winkle Brown a famous test pilot etc is interviewed and he said he met the Falklands operation commander and the guy said if he'd had Ark Royal with longer ranged Phantoms it would have been over in two weeks to a month. As far as I know the Argentinian carrier was under repair when the invasion happened and we did everything we could to make sure it stayed that way. We won the Falklands but I think there's little doubt the navy wasn't properly equipped to fight at the time which is why we lost so many ships. No airborne early warning aircraft and not the right kind of ship defences at the time.
Man I love your version of RUclips. Very organic and you love to learn. Nothing over the top as we Brits would see as "typical American" very refreshing. Thank you for the entertainment sir 🫡
The SAS in WW2 destroyed more aircraft than the Royal Air Force. It might say this later in the video but I thought I'd say it while I remember. I should say enemy aircraft but as a general rule of thumb you don't destroy your own.
The Lrdg already operating for a year taught them how to do it and esp how to find them in the desert
The original band of men known as the SAS were a collection of all sorts and all ranks, the usual rules associated with the military were thrown out the window. Amazing, mad and very brave men - they came on the scene at the right moment
Thanks Connor🎉
You are completely right regarding Shakelton he led a group of men in a small rowing boat across a massive stretch of the South Atlantic to the South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. They then tobogganed down the mountain in the middle of the island on a coil of rope. They then managed to persuade the Norwegian whaling crew to sail back to Antarctica. The rowing boat is displayed in my my old school which is the one that Shakelto also attended
Lets settle this once and for all SAS SBS are best in the world, there is no argument. Even the U S knows it.
Theres 2 brilliant documentarys on 1.Embassy seige and 2. Operation Barras
One of the Troopers that took part in Op Barras, Phil ‘Big Phil’ Campion, is a great guy, and has got some pretty funny stories to tell.
LADBible did an interview with him, and a Q&A (or ‘Honesty Box’ as they call it) - both available on RUclips, where he talks about Op Barras, and many other situations he was involved in, both in the SAS and on the private military contracting circuit after he left - including a story about how he helped to defend a cargo ship from Somali pirates using little more than a mini-fridge.
Well worth a watch, and maybe a reaction too.
The rotors tilt to go forward bud, SAS, SBS and Royal Marines are the best 👌🏻
You've got that right.
@@william6682 exactly 💯
My mate knew a bloke in the SAS a childhood friend didn't say his name but did say he wasn't a big muscle bound fella but looked wirery and a bloke you would pass in the street and have no idea what he done
South Georgia is where Shackleton's expedition stopped as a base, i believe.
Watched the end of the Iranian Siege go down live on the News back in the day.
Me too. And that was really the 1st time we, the public, became aware of this previously covert unit. Margaret Thatcher had balls of steel as do the SAS.
I remember watching it on the BBC with my family, I had the day off school due to May 5th being a bank holiday
Just remember HM The Queen would have known all about this before they went in, Her Boys…..Always Her Boys…..
@@Colourmad314 I'm sure HM The Queen would have been fully aware of developments. She was diligent about going through her red boxes and I'm not sure she always took a passive role. A raise of an eyebrow here, a nod of the head there. She loved our country and her boys and girls of HM Armed Forces.
No Connor although the French Foreign Legion are excellent soldiers they aren't even special forces, let alone anywhere near the same league as the SAS, Delta or Seal teams
French Foreign Legion would be classed as elite troops, same tier as the paras, pathfinder’s and RM Commando’s
Connor you need to look at LRDG who were operating a year before SAS in WW2 originally manned by all Kiwis.When SAS started the LRDG did insert/extract for SAS as they couldnt navigate the desert like the LRDG
Helicopter go forward? OK, so, basically you tilt the rotor disc in the direction you want to go and the entire thing sorta falls in the direction at a constant altitude.
if you tilt it forward enough, the whole whirlybopper will also go nose down, but, that's about it. There are a lot of fiddley bits under the spinny whatsits to do all that jazz.
As long as the spinney doodads stay on, you're all good.
Simon loves the sound of his own voice. I didn't get to join up because I smashed my leg up in a motor cross accident. Try walking 30 miles with no food and camping in the snow Simon.I doubt you last 30 minutes.
The SAS/SBS are closer to Delta Force, but US special forces is a tier system and each tier has a specialisation. The SAS doesn't they are the top of the tree and do everything each of those tiered US spec ops do. that could be jungle, mountains, deserts, you name it they train in it all. Also Delta was set up to be like the SAS with the SAS helping set up and train Delta in its inception. If the SAS were in the US tier system the SEALS would be below them. The closest US equivalent is Delta.
Colonel Beckwith set up Delta Force after training with 22SAS
The spinning machine gun is used in the film PREDATOR
It was either the SAS and SBS that convinced the US to create their own special forces, I'm not sure which one but an American was stationed with them and upon his return explained what he saw to senior officer. The Americans were skeptical at first but provided the funding and stayed true to the British concept of special forces, it is meant to be small so that all efforts are tightly focused. Later the Americans announced Seal Team 6 but there weren't six teams, they wanted their enemies to think there was and intentionally allowed the teams number to be obtained. There were never six seal teams. They stayed very true the British concept that you stay small and put all your efforts in to those very, very few who are exceptional.
It was the SAS, and it was Lt Colonel Beckwith, he came back from training with the SAS to America and created Delta Force.

Argentina's aircraft carrier was the Belgrano, which was an ex-USA World War II carrier Argentia bought in 1951
wasnt a carrier, it was a light cruiser
@@Rianharte Yes, the Argentine carrier, the Veinticinco de Mayo, headed straight back to its base after the Belgrano was sunk and was never used in the Falklands conflict.
He has Operation Paraquat wrong . D squadron, along with a section of SBS and a party of Royal Marines Commandos began an operation to retake the British Islands of South Georgia.
There's a fantastic show on the BBC called "SAS: Rogue Heroes", it's a somewhat romanticized version of the formation of the SAS and their first few raids. Brilliant viewing if you can get it! (My only gripe is they portray Mayne as a drunken brute when in fact he was quite the Gent who happened to have a drunken rampage after being denied leave for his Fathers funeral).
They did him dirty there. He should have been given more awards than he was. But he wasn't one for showing off. He loved rugby too
After a bit of Googling, I read that there are (or have been) about a dozen Gurkha's accepted into the SAS. What a combination.
Because the British army train them
Better for respect, to say the Gurkhas "qualified" to be SAS troopers and not that they were "accepted".
@barryfeagan3969 Point heard, but I'm not sure that I agree that anyone should take my comment as any less respectful. Surely you have to qualify to be accepted? If I'm missing the finer point here (or perhaps it's irony), please do reply.
Gurkha's are badasses already. Much respect to those tough men from the hills of Nepal
liked and subbed, ur likeable, SAS best in the world
It's funny to think that the upper echelons of the ww2 military establishment frowned upon and even opposed the SAS because it's intentions and actions were not considered to be conventional and not gentlemanly i can only imagine those saying "it's not cricket ".
1st Battalion of the Parachute Regiment was there with the SAS in Sierra Leone as a support element this op would in turn would create SFSG while is mainly Paratroopers but has Royal Marines and RAF regiment in it. They provide various Special forces their fire power particularly the use of 81mm mortars. Similar to the Rangers support the likes of Delta.
After the Belgrano, the Argentinian Navy kinda stayed away. They had a carrier, but they certainly didnt want to risk it. Without Naval support, they couldn't keep their airstrips for close air support, (they had Pucara`s which were good for the job). They had supply routes cut off fairly early on hence they could not reinforce well and the only real threat to the Royal Navy was the Super Etendard and the limited Exocets they had.
I enjoyed listening to that video tonight was very good
Connor, have a look at the Battle of Marbat, Oman. A SAS action.
Beat me to it. Mirbat should have been one of the most one sided engagements ever in terms of difference in numbers. It really shows what a force multiplier the S.A.S are.
Connor watch the movie "six days" it's all about operation nimrod..
Love that film.
I'm pleased thst You know about Shackelton!
It was same Glacier He walked over to get to Grytvikken!
Only difference was that He started at sea level not having luxury of Helicopters!
Watch the video on here about "Mills Marauders" the Royal Marines who were captured on South Georgia at the start!
You'll see how effective the Marines were!
So the SAS are the world's premier special forces unit, everything else is founded off of them. Delta Force, Seal Team Six, you name it, every last one of them formed after the SAS and had the SAS train them in their tactics, organisation, even down to choice of weaponry. Nobody is as good as the SAS and SBS (Special Boat Service), Delta Force formed as the American equivalent to the SAS, the Navy Seals formed as your equivalent to the SBS. Same goes for every European military's special forces units too, if the SAS and SBS never existed there would be no blueprint on how to form, organise, equip and train a tier 1 special forces unit.
I'm proud of the SAS and make me proud to be a Brit !
A league of their own. No equal.
I believe that the term "Special Air Service" was a code name during WWII to confuse the enemy - They were not linked with the Air Force
In ww2 there was no sas it was z forces the sas was formed after . Many australians were in z forces
@@randomoldblokethat's not true. K detachment special air service was a phantom regiment set up by British intelligence to fool the Italians. When David Stirling asked to set up a small unit of parachute trained soldiers for behind enemy lines operations, they were designated L detachment special air service, to enhance the deception. All of a sudden this fake unit had actual soldiers running around the desert blowing stuff up. That was in 1941, so very much in ww2.
They went to war with the people of the Falklands because the Rulers at home in Argentina were VERY unpopular and this was their way of taking the pressure off themselves. They calculated, as you stated, that Britain so very far away would not dream of fighting such a long distance war. SUGGESTION: " Falklands Combat Medics 2012 RUclips " the story is told by both the British and Argentinians.
It’s mad to think they were thought of as a myth until the Iranian embassy siege. We lived not too far so my mum and dad actually went to join the crowd outside and watch it happen lol
I enjoyed listening to that video tonight I'm watching it very good
Sas= equivalent to delta sbs= seal team 6
Look for Video on the "Peterhead Prison" Hostage rescue!
The US Navy SEALS modelled themselves on the S.A.S. after seeing what they did and how they did it.
Like others I thoroughly recommend the BBC TV series SAS: Rogue Heroes. It is a Drama Documentary rather than a straight Documentary and damned good fun to watch. I believe that it is available in the US on Apple TV. 🙂
americans watched this then authorised the special operation inside iran, where they were chinned as they didnt have british help. america have lost every engagement with out british help since, and most before
Well they did end WW1 and really won WW2 with a military-industrial complex no-one could hope to match .By 1944 they were doing most of the fighting on three fronts something no other country could do at that time
@@GrahamCahill-uj3sc no they didn't. operation sealion ended and Operation Barbarossa began.. good try though
@@GrahamCahill-uj3scthat isn't true. The red army did far more fighting and killed far more Germans than any of the allied nations. Had it not been for lend lease Britain and Russia would have lost, had Britain not held firm and capitulated America would never have been able to invade Europe. And had the russians not absolutely mauled the werhmacht in the East the western front would never have been successful. It was an allied victory and all nations that fought against the Nazis deserve the credit. Don't get all your information from Hollywood films.
You're awesome Connor,
THE SAS ARE EQUIVALENT' TO NO ONE. 'WHO DARES WINS'😇
Every other Country's Special Services is Trained by the SAS. The SAS are the Best of the Best.
Not all, as some poorer and lefty shiteholes are trained by Russias Spetznaz and therefore totally shite.
You got Antartica mixed up with the Arctic mate...
The SAS are the OG silent professionals - well until operation Nimrod of course.
it was the iranian embassy in london
SAS and delta are tier 1. Seals are tier 2 Seals team 6 is tier 1
Team 6 no longer exists
There is no equivalent the SAS are the best in the world at what they do.
Delta Force was based of the SAS, the difference is that 22 SAS has E-Squadron, go look them up.
SAS deal with land and then you have the SBS for sea!
I can remember watching TV and there was a newsflash showing the Iranian embassy seige ending. As a 10 year old I thought it was amazing and was the main reason I wanted to join the army. As a 10 year old watching the footage of them abseiling from the roof and entering the embassy is something I will never forget...
The craziest SAS operations are the ones you don't know about
Argentina had a carrier ARA Veinticinco de Mayo but once the Belgrano was sunk, she made her way back to Monte Video, where she stayed for the duration. Probably for the best because there was a surprise waiting for her to celebrate her Nameday on the 25th May
Trust me mate, Aircraft Carrier past tense!!!!!!!
I've been very lucky to meet four special servicemen in my life one SAS one SBS one ASAS (Austrian SAS) and one NZSAS (New Zealand SAS). All very smart and thoughtful people and just a little bit scary.
they were all people I knew were loyal and trustworthy and people you would never want to be on the wrong side of.
The closest unit in America would be Delta.
Hi Conner
Really enjoy your videos
My Home town is the home of the British SAS although I now live in OZ
One of my mates was an SAS Sargent in the late 1970s early 80s he was a great guy didn’t look at all like a special forces soldier
One story he told me was a visit from US officers to see hostages rescue training at the local camp apparently the US officer’s were astonished to see they were using live ammunition especially when the had one act as the hostage
I suggest you read the Nemesis File,,, give you a bit of insight 🏴🇮🇪🇬🇧
Jesus… right off the bat you’ve asked if they compare with French foreign legion (not special forces) and US Navy Seals (maritime and most teams equiv to Royal Marine Commandos, except for team 6)
Neither.
SAS was the first after which all other special forces were modelled.
The closest to them from a US perspective is probably DEVGRU.
