Deadliest Warrior Navy Seal vs Israeli Commando Video
Deadliest Warrior- US Navy SEALs vs Israeli Commando Online Video.
The Warriors
U.S. Navy SEAL: SEAL stands for “sea, air and land”. The SEALs were established at the order of President Kennedy on January 1, 1962 as a direct response to the conflict in Vietnam. The Americans needed a military unit capable of both preempting and striking back against guerilla warfare. The goal of the SEALs was to conduct counter-guerrilla warfare and clandestine operations, especially on the water. Hence, the SEALs are the toughest and most physically fit warriors in America’s military. There are approximately 2,500 active duty SEALs. They are broken down into 8 SEAL teams with 6 platoons each. Each platoon has a close-knit team of 16 men, but missions are often conducted with just 1-2 people. The SEALs are known for their unorthodox methods and “violence of action” culture.
Israeli Commando: The roots of Israel’s Special Forces pre-date the birth of the Jewish nation. During the 1936-1938 Arab riots, a British officer serving in Palestine named Charles Orde Wingate saw a need for the Jews to counter unrest. He organized a Jewish fighting force and devised anti-guerrilla techniques for them. They were so successful that when the State of Israel was founded in 1948, and the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) was officially created, Wingate’s “units” became the military’s Special Forces. Of these Forces, the two most elite units are Sayeret Matkal and Duvdevan. Sayeret Matkal is modeled after the British SAS and in fact shares the same motto, “Whoever Dares Wins.” But Matkal also has an additional motto of its own – “Their skill should not be less than their daring” – which is to say they leave nothing to luck or chance. Most likely a byproduct of fighting within the confines of your own borders.

Really? Didn’t get to see the episode, but really?
I’m an American, I love my country, but the Israelis should have one. They have held of armies twice their size. And honestly, I didn’t even know that the SEALS existed until a few years ago. But I have always known about the Israeli commandos.

They dont hold off armies their an anti terrorist specialist who defend just thier country while Seals focus on other countries and learn about there fighting styles. Not only that but they also focus on upgrading weaponry once they find out what they’re actually dealing with (weapon wise). I think going to different countries for mission instead of staying in one place is better training…even though they’ll be on real missions.
February 3rd, 2011 at
they held off five armies at the same time in 1967, and then 4 at the same time in ’73
they held off 3 armies in lebanon, twice

you are wrong. on many occasions, many of them not known to the public, israeli special forces operate in different countries. a few days ago israeli censor has permited the publish of an article about the Abu Jihad assassination, in Tunisia.
November 6th, 2012 at
Guys dream on and back to the drawing board i’m South African but the best in the world is the Israelis . They teach what is written blood, Long Live The Israeli Nation.

wtf navy seals are good but they wud get sluaghtered considering that israeli commandos train them and that israeli special forces are like the best in the world…apart from mayb SAS
July 30th, 2010 at
Fuck no. the black cammandos are the best in the world.
January 11th, 2011 at
yesitstrue commando’s focus on defending thier own country while Seals focus out of the country. Commandos focus on the technique of fighting in there country while the Seals learn fighting techniques in different countries all over the world making them more skilled fighters.
February 3rd, 2011 at
Yeah right the SEALs would win because the Israeli’s only train them in Krav Maga. The U.S. Navy SEALs are trained to win all of the time and also trained to think outside the box
January 7th, 2012 at
You are fucking gay, both of you. The reason why you did not know SEALs existed is because you are stupid and they are highly classified soldiers. Also, no, Israeli Commandos do not train them. They are ugly smelly pieces of shit. Last I checked the SEALs are American and are trained by Americans. I would know considering the fact I am a Navy SEAL. So, fuck you both.
August 2nd, 2010 at
You’re right about the US Navy training their own US Navy SEALs… Imagine that.
You are WRONG however about claiming to be one. I can tell just by the way you construct your comment that you are absolutely NOT a Navy SEAL.
Claiming to be one is very disrespectful to those who have earned the title of US Navy SEAL.
November 21st, 2010 at
Seals are skilled but as we saw in afghanistan al qaida and taliban freedom fighters just rip them apart.
They´d never stand a chance against israeli commandos in real life because israelis are constantly in battle and thus experienced while the american soldiers are busy raping little girls in iraq
December 23rd, 2010 at
Seal have better training considering they go to different countries and not staying in one place. Whats the point of training if you keep fighting the same people, no wonder they held off enemies for so long its because they know what their up against. Seals fight off people all over the world with more advanced weaponry then what the commando’s are used to.
February 3rd, 2011 at
fuck u people isralies suk dick deal wit it u fagges
navy seals rule deal wit it
July 7th, 2011 at
nah your not israeli or American, just another jihadist scumbag the navy seals AND israel commando dispose of…
True israeli.

Hooyah Jake!!
August 16th, 2011 at
negative; not a navy seal u just compromised yourself.
August 25th, 2011 at
You guys don’t know shit… SEALs are legendary, among SAS and Delta.. Not to even mention SEAL Team 6.. Don’t even go there… SEALs are not trained by Isaerli so stfu… they joint train.. if you have any idea wtf that is… The commandos were created to defended.. SEALs were used for national security purpose missions that is top secret.. so stfu… SEALs are wayyy better than commandos.
August 2nd, 2010 at
To be fair Delta recruits the Best Seals (along with the best of other branches) so in a matchup between delta and most SEAL teams delta would take it hands down. The only, possible, exception, would be DEVGRU (Formerly known as SEAL team 6) though I suspect delta would still take it.
As to the SAS . .. Frankly they’re regarded as one of the top Spec-ops forces out there and I doubt very much that the Seals could take them. Israeli commandos though are no match for SEALs.
August 3rd, 2010 at
As far as Seals are Concerned, SEAL SIX would probably best any reguar special forces team in the world. Including regular seals, SAS, and Israli SF operators. The more specialized units like Delta would be a much closer matchup. Delta USUALLY stays within the Army for recruting, so from the rangers and the special forces. SEAL SIX recruits from the SEALs and sometimes marines or marine force recon. They like to stay within the family. They have to go through a similar selection process. They are both highly trained, yet in different areas. Delta is trained for more land based missions and aircraft hi-jackings. SEAL SIX is trained for water based missoins specifically on oil rigs and cargo/cruise ships. Now don’t get me wrong, they both train for both of those areas, and even operate in real life missions with eachother.
It’s often said that SEAL SIX gets the same yearly ammo budget as the entire marine corps.
I have to agree with nadav, those guys were good hand to hand fighters, but couldn’t even shoot with the marines (tad bit of an exaduration but you get the idea)
SAS is where a lot of the ideas for special forces came about. But to say they were the first and that units like DELTA and SEAL SIX were completely based on them is ludacris. Frogmen (SEAL predecessors) go back just as far as SAS as they fought during WWII as well.
Special forces is a very interesting subject, they should compare more of the elite units. I think that SAS vs SEAL SIX vs DELTA, really would be a great idea. Just cause they are based on or another doesn’t mean the one their based on is best. A lot of stuff is taken and melded to the own specific use of the unit itself. SAS is always training, all elite special forces units are ALWAYS training, year round, and at a moments notice have to be ready to drop it and go. Gotta love these soldiers, their (all SF acrost the world) THE BEST.
June 8th, 2011 at
you really need to watch secrites of SEAL team six because half of what you said was incorrect.
July 18th, 2011 at
A special forces tournament is a little different than actual combat my boy! Forget the games and get on with reality. All spec ops guys have something to offer or they would not be where they are – this he is better then he crap has nothing to do with reality. Unless you have faught for your life under dire circumstances standing shoulder to shoulder with another warrior you should set down and shut up about this subject. Have a good day
August 16th, 2011 at
SEAL’s are Tier 2 Operatives, they’re matched to that of the Rangers.
They’re highly skilled operatives, but in terms of international Special Forces rings, the SAS, Delta, DEVGRU and Israeli’s easily ‘beat’ the SEAL’s.
SAS hasn’t lost a single special forces convention tournament, and that was against Delta, SBS, DEVGRU, SAD, Israelis, Rangers AND SEALs.
While SEALs are highly trained, they’re not better than that of SAS, and for the record, DEVGRU is second to Delta, who are second to SAS AU, who are second to SAS UK.
August 14th, 2011 at
You’re the only one that knows anything about what you’re talking about. The rest of the people on here don’t understand, or really know what these special operations units do. I also agree on your idea of having the more elite units have a run, but i don’t think they would because of how classified they are. In my opinion, I think SFODD is the best in the world, but there are definitely units that could stack up against them, like SEAL Team 6, SAS, SBS, the Australian SAS, the Vympel unit of Spetsnaz, and maybe one or two more like Sayeret Matkal or the 24th STS. I’m currently in 1stSF 5th group, and wish to be picked up by SFODD.
March 22nd, 2012 at
Spetsnaz has the toughest training system where approximately 10% die during training. Spetsnaz also has some of the most powerful weapons in the world. So Spetsnaz would own both Israeli Commandos and Navy SEALS
August 5th, 2010 at
Spetsnaz, the last I looked, still deployed AK variant weapons which, though extremely rugged, are not the most accurate weapons on the planet. Don’t get me wrong, I have much respect for Spetsnaz, but their government outfits them with inferior weapons and uniforms, as well. (Hey, that’s what happens when you let a fashion designer make your shit, fellas) Now that the U. S. is fielding the XM25 in SOCOM units…..I feel really sorry for any enemy combatants who must face them. They have a new pet name for such foes….. the recently deceased. HOOYAH.
December 16th, 2010 at
Also, they did not make mention of other weaponry like the SAW, Claymore mines, or Vector SMG. On the other hand, the Israeli Cornershot wasn’t in there, either. U.S. operators are utilizing that system more and more, too. Still, other factors like the AA12 automatic shotgun would come heavily into play in the environment the mock battle took place in. For instance, it is a great way to open doors from a safe distance to avoid Semtex booby traps. Another thing I found suspect was neither team utilized a CYA defensive strategy, i.e., “Look out behind you”. I’m pretty sure all Spec Ops teams, learn that in kindiegarten.
December 16th, 2010 at
Ok Fido obviously there not going to list every weapon that they used. They only focus on the main weapons, not every Spetsnaz soldier will be fitted with AA12 and vectors. I mean dont get me wrong I like the show and think its neat to see these weapon and people fight against eachother but you dont need to list every weapons they used.
February 3rd, 2011 at
Um no Russian bear, thats not how it works, just because Spetsnaz die in training is because they are overconfident and cocky when they went in to join up. They probably had no idea what they were up against. Not to mention that Seals have the tactical advantege when is comes down to fighting terrains. They are skilled in air, water, and heavy jungle area’s.
February 3rd, 2011 at
Yeah, great idea – kill 10 % of your troops in training. Briliant
August 16th, 2011 at
Notice how the American side always wins on this American show?
Just sayin’
August 10th, 2010 at
is that why the spetsnaz won?
August 19th, 2010 at
A spartan isn’t even American. What do you mean American side always wins, Samuri vs viking, seriously you think the winner was American even though the Samuri won?
February 3rd, 2011 at
Spetensaz would destroy these 2 forces. It would be great if they had this campiring all three.
August 30th, 2010 at
are you nuts? duvdevan is a great SF unit, but i wouldnt put them on the level of matkal, S13, or shaldag.
why didnt u just pit S13 against the US seals, fair fight.
September 12th, 2010 at
OK, my previous comment was before i’d seen the show. after seeing the show, this is a warped matchup:
the 2nd israeli guy, forgot his name, is from orev golani, a slightly SF unit, but not matkal. maybe he was transferred to matkal, but that’s unlikely. u dont move around once uve been placed in a unit in the IDF.
again, why not just take shayetet 13 against the seals. same unit, toe to toe.
2nd, the show is just comparing equipment, not head-to-head skills.
September 13th, 2010 at
Seals are not olny equipped with the best weapons made they are equipped with the newest of warfare technology their training is the most advanced in the world yes spetsnaz might have a death risk in training big deal so do navy seals but they know how to stay alive the seals know that a living person is more valuable then a dead one the navy seals could kill u without u knowing they where their
September 14th, 2010 at
the seals would rape them… period! All you communist tools who dislike the decision can go somewhere else.
September 30th, 2010 at
Wow, both sides came out even, they had respect for each other. This was one of the only episodes with a good respectable rivalry with no trash talking; so why are people getting all bent outta shape over who won and lost? Or even worse arguing (not even arguing just angry berating) about which special forces units all over the world are the best. It doesn’t matter they’re all elite for a reason, they all do their jobs incredibly well and the ones mentioned above don’t fight each other anyway so it doesn’t matter. The amount of childish behavior on the internet is astounding.
October 14th, 2010 at
The Navy seals are the best special ops team in the world they deffinatly should have won. I love the navy seals but the Glock 18 is a wicked pistol
November 27th, 2010 at
Then, Aiden, I invite you to try out a Sig just for shits and giggles. If you really want to go to firearms heaven, though, find a class 3 range that rents the Kriss Super V SMG and prepare to be wowed.
December 16th, 2010 at
i want to see navy seals vs Spetsnaz because the last time i saw i.r.a vs Spetsnaz i want the Spetsnaz to lose i was very disappointed NAVY SEALS IS MY FAVORITE SPECIAL FORCE GO NAVY SEALS!!!!
December 20th, 2010 at
Navy Seals Are the best of the best…….There training involves more time than any other special forces branch in the world……America spends more money and training and outfitting them than does Russia on Spetsnaz, Britain on SAS, or Israel on the commandos. The only special forces that can even be mentioned in the same sentence as them are SAS and Delta force. However, I have a friend who is a SEAL and he said that the SAS is known for being overly sloppy and is rarely battle tested.
January 30th, 2011 at
You are mistaken mike. It is a well known fact that the British SAS are the best special forces regiment in the world. So much that your delta force is modelled after them.First of all sloppy, ok that is complete bullshit as the SAS is known to have the most rigourous selection and training system, with something like a 98% drop out rate for all new recruits. Do some reasearch on selection, the killing house where CQB training takes place, SAS jungle selection and winter warfare training in the highlands of Scotland and Norway to name a few.
As for your SEAL buddy who said rarely battle tested…the SAS was formed in the deserts in ww2….and so fought in north africa, europe then post war the malayan emergency, the korean war….australian SAS units fought in vietnam alongside your special forces..the battle of mirbat, aden, not to mention thirty years fightning the IRA in the troubles….the falklands conflict..gulf war one..bosnia…kosovo…gulf war two…sierra leone..so wherever you got your bull shit about being rarely tested i dont know, it is a well known fact that the SAS is one of the most battle hardened SF units…their methodology is tried and tested. Id like to see SAS vs SEALS or Delta for that matter, in fact no i wouldnt because id already know the outcome SAS would win period. So think before you start slagging some one off next time, do a bit of reading.
April 1st, 2011 at
HA! SEALS just killed Bin Laden SAS are still home in GB training for a day when they might be used. However, this day most likly wont come because the SEALs and Delta force are out there doing all the work as usual. I however doubt that SAS are sloppy since all they do is train.
May 3rd, 2011 at
The CIA use SAS for high-risk missions due to their ability to PULL THEM OFF.
They used to use the SEALs but that FUCKED UP on a certain mission called “Operation Urgent Fury”, hence why the UK’s SAS were used in the Gulf War’s early Scud hunter missions.

You better do some more research and reading my boy!

May 3rd, 2011 at
As a former israeli SF operator and officer, i must say most of the show was bullshit, and im sure a true navy SEAL would agree with me, having done joint training with , SEAL, delta, ranger and marines units i most say that the american forces are generaly more displined and well rounded units, as for our units generally specialize in a specfic field (guerilla, counter terror, recon and so forth) make them more proffesional in thier respected field but less flexible for other operations within a specfic SF unit. i have a lot of respect for the guys in the show especially thier hand to hand skills, but they showed more then subpar capbility with rifles and handguns, i could out shoot both guys and day of the week.
as for the micro galil, while bieng a sturdy weapon, it hasntt been used in SF for over 20 years. it is mostly used by police these days.
lots of respect to all the western armed forces, US, UK and israeli
May 20th, 2011 at
Nadav – spoken like a true gentleman and I would offer the same regard and respect back to you and your countrymen.
August 16th, 2011 at
i read your comment about the show and i agree. i left my own comment down the page a little further. i’ve trained with mike and he’s good at what he does but once again he served in the Golani Brigade. i would have liked to have seen the SEALs do a competition against S-13. if not shayetet-13 then i would have liked to have seen a few guys from duvdevan. the galil is old, and if i’m not mistaken you guys ALL use M-4′s now.
December 9th, 2012 at
Navy SEALs do joint training in Israel, and ALSO Great Britain, I don’t see why this is a problem as it is beneficial for the SEALs, and the training is “joint” meaning both groups get good lessons from each other, but really have you ever seen the people that go into the U.S. military? I can tell you for a fact that every kid graduating out of my highschool that went into the military had rich parents and an extremely easy lifeslyle, they talk as if they know war LOL. And all the training in the world can’t add up to combat experience, war is natural selection at its finest and israel doesn’t get a break of it. Finally the SAS are successful everywhere they go and have an amazing combat record while the SEALs…. Not so much recently(excluding Osama). America has the technology but the soldiers are kind of pussies compared to other countries, I mean it’s not exactly great but other soldiers will kill themselves for a few kills in war, even if its for religion that takes balls, and you will see very few U.S. soldiers willing to do the same even if it could save lives.
June 22nd, 2011 at
Have you people ever looked up Navy SEAL training. By God all of you would die the first day I know I would. And you say they suck…..hmmmmm well recently I believe they just went over into Pakistan undetected (basically invaded it) blew Osama Bin Ladens head off and took everything from the compound before Pakistan even thought to send the military over there. Longer ago blew the heads off of Somalian Pirates while on a moving aircraft carrier while they had a hostage on a moving life boat. And then put in all the missions that you will never know about because they are that amazing at covert counter terrorism. Yah the modern day assassins right there for ya.

Being former military (Army Airborne Infantry not a Ranger, Delta, or SF); I am not saying that one unit is better than the other, they have their places and times to be used; it should have been a tie in my eyes… Both units do their jobs very well, and I think God that we have them!!! But just based on what was shown on the show, the commandos should have won. The long range weapon that the commandos used is a older weapon not used anymore and any gunsmith will tell you the Glock is a more reliable weapon (not better, but reliable) than the Sig. Also with the long range weapons… the Seal was using a EOTech site on the M4 and any one (trained or untrained) should be able to shoot the way the SEAL did at that distance. The commando was using the iron sites on his rifle, which would take someone with much more shooting experience to do. The show said that the SEALS won because of the long range weapons but didn’t take into account the electronics on the M4 vs the skills of using no electronics.

as long as all sf fight on the side of justice and good i don’t see the point of arguing everybody
August 9th, 2011 at
The SEAL’s greatest weapon is their mind. They can adapt to any challenge. Also tell me why they are called the elite OF the elite. In case you didn’t understand that, they are better than the best. Quit saying the show is rigged, SEAL’s are unbeatable.
August 18th, 2011 at
I was in the IDF commando and the irony is that the red-dot sight and rifling of the m4-colt were both basically Israeli innovations tested in the field from 89 onward. I’ve got one with me in a boot camp picture. The micro Galil, although available for purchase as a semi in the USA called the Golani, does little justice to the TAR21a or Z-TAR that is the current reconnaissance instrument for India and Indonesia, it’s also the worlds most accurate and reflexive assault rifle manufactured in Israel, Austria, and USA
.
August 21st, 2011 at
In equal battle with same numbers and weapons it’d be like this…
1. isreali commando – experienced. – (im talking about the special ops not the ones that raided intruders in isreali sea lol, dont mix them with internal shit – they sent there 1month recruits)
2. US Navy seals – equiped but can’t face the isreali commando.
3. SAS – trained but out of duties for a long time.
August 22nd, 2011 at
and note that I’d not vote as they all fight for their people and got different tasks, but this is an interesting thread, its not really gonna happen, so why not?
August 22nd, 2011 at
The only reason te SEALS won was because it was an American show. If they were going to stick with obvious facts then the real winner (Israeli Commandos) would have come out victorious. Israel is a stronger country in the states. Israel is a country of warriors, America is a country of MacDonalds occupants.
September 1st, 2011 at
Miles what the hell are you talking about???SEALS won because its an american show???Its quite obvious you didnt see the Green Beret vs Spetsnaz.Spetsnaz won, so next time do a lil research next time dumbass.
September 2nd, 2011 at
This whole test to see who is superior is unfair. Of course the Navy SEAL’s are going to win. The Israeli’s had a Krav Maga Instructor being their ‘weapons specialist’. And the second was an, at least 5 years retired Orev Golani combat soldier that only served the mandatory 3 years of service, get someone who signed on for longer and is still in service, there’d be a much different outcome. I serve in Orev Golani now, and while it’s a great special forces unit that I love in the IDF, it’s nothing compared to Sayeret Matkal or Shayetet 13. Shayetet 13 are the Navy SEAL’s of Israel anyways.
SEAL’s are a deadly and badass unit, but you’re comparing apples and oranges here.
September 10th, 2011 at
I agree that the Navy SEALs would beat the Israeli Commandos, but I wouldn’t call the Navy SEALs the best. In fact I wouldn’t call any American special forces the best. To me the best special forces units are the ones who can successfully perform a wide variety of missions under absolute secrecy. We have heard of Navy SEALs missions numerous times. We simply have to many politics in the way. The SAS primarily focuses on counter-terrorism, but, still, the reason the SAS is the model Special Forces is because they are able to keep their missions completely secret. I cannot say whether they win most missions or not because like I said their missions are completely secret thanks to a law in the UK that prohibits the activities of the SAS from being revealed. I don’t think they are the best, though, but they do come close. I think a lot of people think the SAS is the best because of Hollywood. For me their is no best Special Forces.
October 1st, 2011 at
Lol! these people are saying that western sfs are the best…did u people ever heard of the Indian marine commandos(MARCOS),Air Force Garud commandos?they will simply outshoot any other special force unit…..moreover they contain the GURKHAS,RAJPUTS,SIKHS.who are blood lovers. Watching them the others will simply flee the battle field crying.:-D

The Israeli commando’s aren’t “stronger” than the Seals. Yes they hold off armies for centuries, that’s because of strategic decisions. If you’re stationary in the same country for decades, it’s not weird you know how to defend it well. The Seals travel all across the globe and still prove theirselfs worthy, wheter it’s on known or unknown territory.
And I am quite impartial, seeing I’m Dutch.
August 30th, 2012 at
guys the creators of this episode are totaly wrong they sould have put the shayetet 13( special forces unit in the idf) because they are like the seals and also do mission all around the world, and the idf mostly use m4 the shayetet even use ak47 and specail guns that are good for water so if you put what i just wrote in the episode the shayetet would rip them apart
September 7th, 2012 at
As long as you guys keep saving the world you’ll earn the respect of all the world’s citizen no matter which unit or country you belong to. ‘THANK YOU’ all for making this world a better and safer place to live in. ‘SALUTE’
November 13th, 2012 at
I’ve trained with Mike Kanarek, one of the commandos. I have alot of respect for him and he has the credibility to be on the show. However he served in the Golani Brigade. If they were going to have the SEALs go against anyone from the IDF it should have been Shayetet-13 (S-13), Israel’s version of the SEALs. There are numerous “special” units within the IDF that all have different mission objectives. The Duvdevan Unit specializes in apprehending higher level terrorists and their financers, snatching them right off the fucking streets. There’s also Sayeret Shaldag and Sayeret Matkal. As far as Israeli Special Forces staying put and never traveling worldwide, you are wrong. The Mossad snatched Adolf Eichmann from a bus stop in South America and within a week had him back in Israel to stand trial. Another part of the show I didn’t like was the Galil vs. the M-4. Israeli commandos also use the M-4. Mike didn’t do too good shooting that pig BUT he also wasn’t using a $600 Red-Dot sight like the SEAL was. The bottom line is we are ALL allies. Our ODA-Teams were linking up with SAS in Afghanistan, our Delta guys were in the mountains of Afghanistan alongside the SBS. No one unit trains the other one. I think it’s more like the operators exchanging tricks-of-the-trade….training TOGETHER through mutual respect, common goals, and common enemies. Delta training and selection was patterned after the SAS. “Chargin” Charlie Beckwith cross-trained with the SAS in jungle warfare in the days leading up to Vietnam. In my own opinion the biggest enemy our special forces units face isn’t terrorism, it’s politics and bureaucracy in Washington. In Israel there is no such thing as getting approval from higher-up before engaging a terrorist. They kill him/her then run up to the body to put a bullet in the head in case they want to detonate a vest at the last second.
