US Navy Seals VS Russian Spetsnaz - Special Forces Comparison
Both United States and Russia have various elite units of soldiers that have been trained both physically and mentally at extreme levels. Navy Seals and Spetsnaz are two of these elite units in the world. Months of extreme training teaches them to endure and withstand highest level of physical pain and mental stress. We don’t know much about these elite soldiers because for the most part what they do remains a secret. They work in the background for much of the time, and only occasionally their missions go public. Today we’ll compare US Navy Seals with Russia’s Spetsnaz and try to determine which unit is better in a real battlefield scenario.

1. Human Resources
The Navy SEALs have access to a much larger pool of viable candidates than their Russian counterparts. The US has greater population and comparatively has bigger armed forces. Due to ethnic diversity in America, there is larger and wider pool of different body types, mindsets, physical and mental skills which are essential for different kinds of missions…

2. Selection & Training
To join Navy SEALs you need to be a natural born or naturalized American between the ages of 18 and 28. They must train for at least six months before deployment, including underwater scenarios, free fall, demolition training, engaging in hostage and terrorist simulations. They must also go through an extreme test of endurance known as "Hell week…
Only about half of the candidates survive the training. Navy SEALs are organized into Teams 1 to 5 and 7 to 10, some of them with a specialty beyond their already intelligent and deadly skill set. For examples SEAL Team 2 specializes in arctic combat…
On the other hand, even today the specific details of Spetsnaz training are secret material. Born in the mid-1950s, during the Cold War, the Soviet Spetsnaz were originally specialized in missions of stealth, sabotage and even infiltration. According to the little information there is great emphasis on hand-to-hand combat. Their fighting technique is -called 'sambo', a martial art…

3. Gear & Equipment
The SEALS have an extremely large and exclusive budget which allows them to buy top notch gear. However a lot of it depends on the particular mission they will be conducting. The weaponry may include Light machine guns, assault rifles, submachine guns, pistols, sniper rifles, which comes from a variety of manufacturers…
In terms of specialized equipment the Spetsnaz have wide array of custom made electronics, weapons, software-development muscle and capital intensive modifications of common military platforms…

4. Deployment
In terms of physical access intelligence and support infrastructure, the US leads by far. This includes aircraft carriers, fastest vessels and presence of numerous military bases across the globe…
In addition to naval assets US has some unique air resources, such as Boeing V-22, black hawk and Little Bird helicopters, which are specifically designed for the Special Forces…

5. Media Exposure
Members of both units are known as “quiet professionals” and are notorious for being immensely secretive. Unfortunately, with today’s social media, 24-hour news coverage and leaks within the government, it can be difficult to keep out of the media no matter what steps are taken to ensure secrecy. While both units carry out high profile missions, however Navy SEALs have gained much more notoriety and unwanted media exposure in recent years due to government leaks, and Hollywood blockbuster movies such as Zero Dark Thirty.
So what do you think that which Special Forces unit is better? US Navy Seals or Russian Spetsnaz? Let us know in the comments section.
