What do you think? I go with the SAS. They are trained more intensivley, have more experience and are some tough sums a bitches. Delta Force have had too many failures, overly confident and have "after action counsellors ie, "pussied down."

I'm talking one on one not the whole units themselves! The SAS have DF can cheat the Gurkhas with their technology gadgets! Take a Gurkhas with the same equipment, then I would take the Gurkhas as a whole!

They do cross train. I trained with Delta Force a few times when I was in Ranger Regiment. Ranger Regiment has more incommon with SAS than Delta Force does.
Delta Force is much smaller and has different missions....also, Delta Force has been handicaped by military leadership that did not know how to use Special ops and preferred heavy armor. That is changing somewhat, and special ops troops are getting better.
Well only thing i know is that the SAS gets their ass handed to them at a regular bases when it comes to the yearly NATO exercises. Last time i was on the exercise the norwegian special forces the Telemark Bataljon beat them in every encounter they had. It WAS a winter exercise, and that might have a lot to do with it.
Well worked out genius.............try em in the jungle or the desert and see how you fair then.
If you are brought up living in snow you are bound to be better at dealing with it than those that aren't. As for the SAS getting their asses handed to them regularly that isn't strictly true is it......slight exaggeration there huh. At least thats what my friends in the forces seem to think........
Thats not to mention that the main point of the SAS is to avoid confrontations and collect information. Their approach in confrontations is shoot and scoot........that way you live to fight another day and you are still operational.
