South Africa’s Special Task Force
This specialized police team is trained like a military elite unit. Their brazen “shoot first, ask questions later” method of operation has brought them to our list. Responsible for taking on any situation deemed too dangerous for regular cops, these bad-boys fear nothing.
Specializations of theirs include thwarting armed robberies, hostage situations, be it in the air, water or on land and VIP protection.
Estonina’s Special Forces (ESTSOF)
Even though the Estonian Special Forces unit is a late bloomer, they’ve shown their readiness and capabilities in the world of special military operations.
The training for this Arctic nation’s special unit includes exposure to freezing temperatures, sleeping between 1 and 4 hours per night, and of course hours upon hours of marksmanship training. The number of operatives, like many other units, is classified.
