Οι ειδικές δυνάμεις που έχουν οι περισσότερες χώρες στον κόσμο είναι οι πιο εκλεκτοί στρατιώτες παγκοσμίως. Πηγαίνουν εκεί που δεν πάνε άλλοι και κάνουν πράγματα σχεδόν υπεράνθρωπα, σε επιχειρήσεις με τεράστιο βαθμό δυσκολίας και επικινδυνότητας. Είναι πραγματικά οι καλύτεροι των καλύτερων.

Αν και είναι πολύ δύσκολο να κατατάξει κανείς τις ειδικές δυνάμεις κάθε χώρας, είναι μερικές των οποίων η ιστορία και η επιχειρησιακή πραγματικότητα τις κάνει πραγματικά τρομακτικές για τους αντιπάλους τους.

Οι στρατιώτες αυτοί έχουν περάσει τρομερή και σκληρή εκπαίδευση η οποία είναι ειδικά σχεδιασμένη να “διώξει” αυτούς που δεν θα μπορούσαν να αντεπεξέλθουν στην φυσική αλλά και ψυχολογική κατάσταση που θεωρείται αναγκαία.

Ιδού, λοιπόν, οι 8 καλύτερες ειδικές δυνάμεις του κόσμου σύμφωνα με το Business Insider:

8. Special Services Group, SSG, Πακιστάν.

8. The Special Services Group, SSG, in Pakistan is better known in the country as the "Black Storks" because of the commandos' unique headgear. Training reportedly includes a 36-mile march in 12 hours and a 5-mile run in 50 minutes in full gear.

7. Unidad de Operaciones Especiales, UOE, Iσπανία

7. Spain's Unidad de Operaciones Especiales, or the Naval Special Warfare Force as it has become since 2009, has long been one of Europe's best-respected special forces. Originally established as the volunteer Amphibious Climbing Company unit in 1952, it has since followed the SAS' example to become an elite fighting force.

6. FSB Alpha Group, Ρωσία

6. Russia's Alpha Group is one of the best-known special forces units in the world. This elite antiterrorism unit was created by the KGB in 1974 and remains under its modern-day counterpart, the FSB.

5. GIGN, Γαλλία

5. Few of the world's counterterrorism forces can compete with France's National Gendarmerie Intervention Group, or GIGN. The group is 200 strong and trained specifically to respond to hostage situations. It claims to have freed more than 600 people since it was formed in 1973. It is against French law to publish pictures of its members' faces.

4. Sayeret Matkal, Ισραήλ

4. Israel's Sayeret Matkal is another of the world's most elite units. Its primary purpose is intelligence gathering, and it often operates deep behind enemy lines. During the selection camp (Gibbush), would-be recruits endure hardcore training exercises while being constantly monitored by doctors and psychologists. Only the strongest get in.

3. SAS (Special Air Service), Βρετανία

3. The British Special Air Service, known commonly as the SAS, is the infantry counterpart to the Special Boat Service. Their insignia bears the phrase "Who dares wins." Asked about the importance of the SAS' role in the fighting that followed the Iraq war, US Gen. Stanley McChrystal responded: "Essential. Could not have done it without them."

2. SBS (Special Boat Service), Βρετανία

2. The UK equivalent of the Navy SEALS is the Special Boat Service. The selection process involves a grueling endurance test, jungle training in the rain forests of Belize, and combat survival training, which involves intense interrogation of candidates. And you get only two attempts to pass.

1. US Navy Seals, ΗΠΑ

1. The US Navy SEALS might one-up even the Marines. To even pass the SEALs Prep School before full training starts, you have to be able to do a minimum of 72 push-ups in two minutes, 60 sit-ups in two minutes, a 4-mile run in under 31 minutes, and a 1,000 yard swim with fins in under 20 minutes.
