Israel (ISR)

Of all the elite units in the world, none have participated in as many battles as the Israeli ones. They were founded in 1948 during the War of Independence and their equipment initially consisted of one Curtiss C-46 aircraft and 4,000 second-hand parachutes. The unit consisted of Israeli veterans of the British Army and Palmach, graduates of the airborne course, which took place in Czechoslovakia, and a number of adventurers.
