    The Cape Town STF is still world class... Trust me on this... Unfortunately Durban STF has declined over the years while after a few resignations the JHB unit is trying to build itself up again.

    Holly Necropost!

    I was under the impression that the STF is based in Pretoria only and that they travel when they need to?

    Agreed about the JHB resignations. Friend of one of them.

    It was initially but later Durban and Cape Town units were established. PTA is a long way from either when missions are time critical. Didn't know there was a JHB STF?

    How comparable is the STF in training and fighting ability to other special police and military units, like the LAPD SWAT, NYPD ESU, German GSG-9 Austrsia EKO Kobra, or military units like the British SAS, US Navy SEALS, SFOD-1 and the Danish Jaegerkommando?

    Withing their scope of operations, there are none better. They are policemen, not soldiers, so they don't go in for infantry combat, but that said, they could likely do serious damage in any urban war.

    Comparing them to the above isn't accurate in most cases. FBI HRT and GSG9 would be a closer comparison. LAPD Swat and the like are closer to our NIU.

    I agree.

    As far as I know they do cross train quite a bit with our SF. Last i heard they were involved with the hostage rescue stuff for our SF guys.

    The STF do some training that many SWAT units dont like parachute, diving etc.
