I heard rumors say back in 2003 in Myanmar Chinese SOF from Chengdu Military Region went head-to-head with SFOD and those elite D-boys experienced heavy cansualties (~70 Deaths) and the whole operation failed miserably. Anyone has any info or confirmation? Personally I don't buy this story because Delta is always my favourite SOF in the world.

Wait are you saying that the American Delta Force actually was involved in combat with Chinese special forces? I'm assuming that "SFOD" and "D-boys" is referring to Delta Force. If so, where did this happen? Why?

Personally I think that there is absolutely no way that this story could be true. How could these two forces come to grips? From your vauge language it seems that you could be talking about a training exercise but I'm absolutely certain that American and Chinese Special Forces (especially SFOD) would never train together.

I find this story quite unbelievable if you are refering to the US Delta Force or any other US SOF,SEALS, Rangers ETC.. If such an event did occur it would be nearly impossible for the UD DoD to keep silent. Family members of the deceased service members would have come forth to one or more of the many news agencies in the US. Some unnamed source from the Pentagon would have been quoted. I just don't believe this action ever happened..

By the way, it's not that I don't think PLA SF could defeat US Delta Force. I feel the PLA SOF could defeat them in certian situations. I just do not believe this event ever occuried as discribed.

yea, i agree that 70 casualities are kind of high for special operation, and anything that magnitude could've result in media exposure already, let along pitting two countries elite SOF against each other just sounds a bit like a pleasant fiction. it would be like some f35s already shot down some j10s, a bit far-fetched. but what do i know, anything is possible, if there is some credible source for that, however, it would be an interesting read.

Always bothered me. This image of the Beijing SWAT team one of the most highest regarded. The guy on the left with the red dot sight on his gun. What gun is he actually holding? Because it doesn't seem like the Type79/85 submachine guns, nor the Type 81/95 rifle. So what actually is the person armed with?

It is type 79/85 whit Picatinny rail and red dot sight and flashlight installed... I have seen better quality image of Beijing SWAT team whit this gun recently... I will try to find that image and post it here...

No way..... why would Delta be in Myanmar? Even worse, 70 Delta force in a group??? XD LOL ROFL :rofl: what SOF has 70 people in a squad in the same operation?

Hmm, I could think of some green berets with a larger group of indigenous fighters, but not more.

I think that this story was told to the soldiers in the Chinese SOF community to give them a morale boost. If they believe that they defeated a possible enemy with a very good reputation then they will have very high pride in their unit and will be confident, which is a good thing. I would even go as far as to say that this story came from the commanding officers in whatever unit it originated in.
