British Special Forces

British Special Forces are elite military units trained for complex, high-stakes missions beyond regular armed forces. They specialize in covert operations such as hostage rescue, intelligence gathering, sabotage, and counter-terrorism. Key units include the SAS (Special Air Service), known for its versatility and daring tactics, and the SBS (Special Boat Service), focused on maritime operations. These forces undergo rigorous selection and training to operate in extreme environments and under tight confidentiality. Their purpose is to protect national interests globally, often working independently or alongside allied units in sensitive scenarios.
