Who are the baddest humans alive?

Navy Seals? Green Beret? Who can challenge these badasses and hope to live? Even their weapons seem superior.

The Russian Spetsnaz...

Spetsnaz as a whole isn´t "best of the best", you have to look at the elite subsections of it(and the other units that recruit from there) to find the ones with the "leet skillz".

And Seals? Mmm, my cousin served as a Flygbasjägare(airbase ranger), and the one time they ran an exercise with and against USN Seals(and some US marines and some Swedish coast rangers), the yanks ran off home early because they got so annoyed at never being able to "win"(their excuse was that the exercise wasn´t safe enough, lol).

Airbase rangers are basically setup as hunter killers against special forces, and so far, in training or in real situations, they´ve never failed yet(same goes for their army/navy counterparts MP rangers and BasSäk((navy)BaseSecurity)).

So, those are extremely deadly simply because that´s what they´re made to be, as 6-8 man squads, usually with 1-2 dogs, they are trained to be able to take on and either defeat or at least pin down twice or more their own numbers of enemy special forces.

However, one of the reasons they can be that nasty is by having light or minimal loadouts, and train to exploit the easy mobility that comes with that.
Their use of extremely welltrained dogs, while severely trashing any attempts of stealth for enemies, also means another set of complications that restrict them for a lot of missions.

Those units have been used for more common special forces missions, and they work for that as well, but it can be pretty troublesome to make it work.

For the allround deadliest form around here, you want SSG(Special Protection Group), they´re similar to the British SAS.

It´s been a standard weapon for USSR then Russia since 1974, very common. It was basically their way of doing the high velocity small caliber that in USA resulted in the (questionable)5.56x45, the 5.45x39 essentially gets the same or better level of lethality with less recoil.

A month or so ago, I saw a report on the net from Brazil. A couple of thugs with knives decided to hassle a small lady. They didn't know she was a mixed martial arts student.

One of the thugs got away. The other was turned over to the police about fifteen minutes later when they arrived.


I mentioned in another thread that unarmed combat training for women as a cultural pattern might improve courtesy, at least when dealing with the ladies. Too bad we can't hire some Dorsai ladies to do the training As it is, in the US, the ladies are increasing ownership of concealed carry permits and getting handgun training at a higher rate than other groups. I suspect they get concerned because of the trend of downtalking the police forces.

If you think uniformed thugs are bad, try the scum thugs.
