socks 32,253 Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 The sbs only do 3 weeks on endurance mate and their jungle phase is different to that of the sas ... Escape and evasion is very similar but after that the sbs lads go onto more water based selection tests ......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,907 Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 You seem to know a lot more than is publicised socks. I wasn't aware the SBS was involved with the embassy seige in the 80s. In your opinion, and I know it's a trivial question, but how does the modern day SAS/SBS compare to their US counterparts? Green Berets/Delta and the SEALs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Green berets and delta force are nowhere near as good as a top end British infantry unit and the us navy seals were not allowed to operate outside of us waters for a set period of time not so long ago due to the number of cluster fukcs they had generated ... I have worked with the yanks on numerous e occasions and every time I dreaded it ... All the gear but no idea ......... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For example they couldn't mount a jungle recce and off the back of that complete a sucsesfull hostage retake ........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
