User blog comment:Goddess of Despair/S6B9 Delta Force vs Spetsnaz/@comment-4098900-20131022214848

Before I begin my vote,  I feel the need to make a point here considering that every Spetsnaz vote here is saying they win because their training is tougher. Seriously, it's all a myth. I'm not saying that Spetsnaz training isn't tough, but I'm pretty sure they don't swim in blood. Delta Force has to hike 18 miles with a 40 pound rucksack and a rifle over extremely rough terrain, they must complete the course within like two days. Tell me that isn't tough? In fact, that sounds considerably tougher than swimming in a pool of blood, presuming they do. Delta trains on their marksmanship until it is PERFECT. Like, until they really never miss. I wouldn't be surprised if Spetsnaz do this too, but this whole thing about SPetsnaz having way tougher training and that sealing this for them is just bullshit.

Melee: Well the ballistic knife can shoot out, the Delta guy could be trying to disarm it and then he just shoots the knife. That will probably penetrate kevlar, since it's designed to stop bullets, not knives.

Edge: Spetsnaz

Close Range: The Saiga is semi auto and quicker to reload so...

Edge: Spetsnaz

Mid Range: The HK416, like the AN-94 and previous AK series rifles is virtually unable to jam. Unlike the AN-94, it is smaller and more compact. Still very accurate.

Edge: Delta

Long Range: The Mark 12 has 10 more rounds and a higher rate of fire. 1 pound heavier won't make much a difference, plus the Mark 12 is a bit shorter.

Edge: Delta

Winner: Delta has this. All Delta operators are already higherly experienced soldiers with a very useful and particular skill set. A very vast majority comes straight out of the Army Rangers. Spetsnaz get over 10,000 recruits a year, so they couldn't possibly have a selection process. Ultimately it seems like Delta is in fact better trained and has more experienced operators. Delta has also had a much better track record in Afganistan then Spetsnaz did, many SPetsnaz soldiers were killed and/or captured in Afghanistan. Very few Delta operators have been killed, I never heard of any being captured. I'm positive that no SEAL has ever been captured, so I doubt that anyone in Delta has either.
