World’s Best Special Force

World’s Best Special Force

Discovery Channel Military edition 2008 broadcasted the world’s best elite forces. Elite forces from around the globe was measured by its performance and skill (not by the military technology), where military experts and analyst across the globe were invited to give their judgments. Here’s the Top 3 :

1. United Kingdom’s SAS

2. Israel’s MOSSAD

3. Indonesia’s KOPASSUS

You must be wondering why the US elite force was not included. It is because, according to the narrator, they rely heavily on military equipments, all-digitalized technology. A good special force should posses a perfect individual skill like defense, survival, camouflage, strategy, endurance, guerilla, trap-making, and others. The narrator also said that 1 Kopassus soldier is equal to 5 regular soldiers. Here’s some things for you :

1. Kopassus wins sniper championship using Indonesia’s made weaponry.

2. Kopassus ranks #2 in conducting a strategical military operation, like intelligence, deployment and movement, infiltration, and attack. The #1 rank is DELTA force, USA.

3. Countries in North Africa use 80% of their military trainers from Kopassus.

4. Cambodian special forces have long been trained by Kopassus.

    Wow. I always know that Kopassus is one of the best elite units in the globe, but to rank above the US and GIGN is a great achievement.

    Can you please tell me the exact episode that showed this? I want to search for it.

    no wonder, every ex-commander of Kopassus, never heard again in Indonesia.

    ga tahu mesti bangga ato nggak ya tp nampaknya penghargaan ini aslinya “Pasukan paling kriminil”

    1. Amrik – buat huru-hara di dunia, ngebom Iraq, AFghanistan, bunuh rakyat sipil.

    2. Mossad – bunuh innocent people di Palestina dan aroudn the world

    3. Kopassus – menculik pejuang dan aktivis HAM

    Kang Akhyari,
    dapat info dari mana ini?
    Saya sih bangga sekali kalo emang Kopassus masuk top ten special force.
    Tapi apa iya dicovery military bikin list seperti itu?
    1. saya cari di internet, ga ada referensi tentang lis tini – bahkan di website discovery. beritanya cuma santer disini, kaskus dan bbrp blog asal Indonesia (yg beritanya sama ajah…forward2an).
    2. link yg anda publish itu jg bukan list resmi dari discovery. Siapa aja bs bikin top-ten loh…
    3. Ini yg paling aneh. Kenapa Mossad ada list special forces?
    Mossad teh lembaga intelejen kang, bukan special force. Kalo di Israel ada Mossad, di UK ada MI6, di US ada CIA, di Indonesia ada BIN.
    Bukan begitu?

    Teliti sebelum membeli…

    ada pertanyaan besar memang thd kebenaran berita ini..terlepas dari kebenaran berita itu sendiri, hal positif dari pemberitaan ini adalah harus diakui mengenai skill dan performance dari kopassus yg sangat mumpuni…
    dan yg lebih berharga lagi adalah pemberitaan spt ini akan mampu meningkatkan rasa PERCAYA DIRI kita dalam pertahanan bangsa di tengah carut marutnya alutsita indonesia..karena percaya diri tsb akan menjadi modal utama bagi bangsa indonesia utk lebih maju..

    APAKAH BENAR KOPASSUS ADALAH SALAH SATU PASUKAN ELITE TERBAIK DI DUNIA?

    Kayaknya ga hoax deh.. Saya beneran ngeliat di discovery channel sekitar bulan Juli atau Agustus gitu.. disitu ditayangin kehebatan Spesial Force dari SAS, Delta Force..dan memang ada Kopassus masuk di tayangan itu (terutama waktu ngebebasin sandera di pesawat GA 206 tahun 1981).. dan disitu disebutkan Kopassus memang di deretan ketiga.
    Btw, walaupun di website discovery channel military tidak ada artikel tentang ini.. bukan berarti tayangan ini ga ada.. kembali ke pembaca sih mau percaya atau tidak.. bagi saya ini bukan hoax dan ini nyata (soalnya ngeliat dengan mata kepala sendiri)..

    anyway..nice post goodnewsfromindonesia

    Sebenarnya siy, bukan world’s best special force, tapi world’s bondo nekad special force. Kalu nyang begini siy, dari jaman cikal bakal Kopasus juga begini. Sudah watak orang Indonesia suka nekad. Saya masih inget dg cerita seorang TKI Indonesia yang menyelamatkan orang Jepang, dan akhirnya meninggal kelelahan karena berusaha menyelamatkan korban. Seperti itu juga saat, Bung Tomo teriak untuk membakar semangat pemuda Surabaya dan akhirnya bisa mengusir penjajah Belanda dari Surabaya. Ga tanggung-tanggung, Jenderal dari Belanda pun dibunuh sekalian ma arek-arek Suroboyo. Jadi, ya bener bila dibilang ‘World’s best special force’ :D Xixixiixi

    @matburit: Kopassus tetap milik Indonesia meskipun mungkin pengasasnya Belanda.
    @vinny : kita patut membedakan antara nekad yg tanpa perhitungan dan keberanian yang terukur. Yg pertama juga biasanya berkonotasi aksi negatif dan yg kedua selalu dihubungkan dengan cerita kepahlawanan dalam segala tingkatannya disertai ketulusan di dalamnya. Cerita Bung Tomo adalah cerita kepahlawanan, cerita saudara kita seorang TKI juga kepahlawanan. Ini harus dibedakan dengan cerita pendukung suatu tim sepakbola yang pergi keluar tanpa bekal dan merusak fasilitas umum.
    Semuanya sama memang berawal dari keberanian. Tapi berbeda tujuan dan semangat. Bangsa kita memang terkenal pemberani. memang dari sononya gitu. coba sehabis PD II negara mana yang merdeka paling awal di antara negara2 terjajah? bandingkan dengan beberapa negara tetangga yg merdeka dengan pengasihan alias gratis diberi penjajahnya.
    Bravo KOPASSUS! Long live TNI! Hidup DENJAKA !
    Maju terus INDONESIA !!!
