What are the advantages of guerrilla tactics and special forces now? What are their brilliant skills in modern warfare?

The confrontation between guerrillas and special forces began in Vietnam War and continues in the current war in Afghanistan. In these wars, the special forces have achieved great tactical victory, and the exchange ratio is very good, and 1: 10 is very low, but the party using the special forces has basically not won the final victory of the war, whether in Vietnam, Iraq or Afghanistan.

Compared with special forces, guerrillas are more suitable to be described as rabble.

Compared with guerrillas, special forces have absolute advantages in military quality, discipline, logistics support and weapons and equipment. It can even be said that guerrillas can't compare with special forces. At the same time, the technical intelligence support of special forces is much stronger than that of guerrillas, but the human intelligence is much worse.

Guerrillas usually improvise, that is, the so-called militia, with a hoe in one hand and a gun in the other. Of course, the former regular army soldiers are not excluded, but on the whole, the military quality of guerrillas is not as good as that of ordinary light infantry units, let alone special forces. As for organizational discipline, it is even worse.

Usually after the operation, the special forces will have the cooperation of air power. In fact, the special forces are elite light infantry units, lacking heavy weapons such as artillery. Once they are deadlocked, their weak firepower will be exposed. Without additional fire support, the action of special forces will be very difficult.

In terms of post-support, the special forces have a perfect logistics support system, and in combat, although a small group enters, there is a huge system behind this group as a support. Take the U.S. military as an example, there are usually a bunch of planes waiting for the action of special forces in the sky. If the situation of special forces is unfavorable, bombs and shells will fall from the sky, which guerrillas do not have. You can only see a few people in front of the special forces. On the other hand, the guerrillas are very shabby. I wish I had a mortar. You can meet as many people as you want.

Generally speaking, guerrillas are worse equipped than special forces, but they can also get the equipment of special forces through various channels. Moreover, some guerrillas have the support of big countries behind them, and their weapons and equipment can be not too bad.

As for weapons and equipment, it is actually the smallest difference between special forces and guerrillas. Special forces require light and flexible actions, so special forces mainly use light weapons, and so do guerrillas. The quality of light weapons is not much worse now. How much worse can an AK without any accessories be than an M-4 full of various accessories? Moreover, guerrillas can also obtain those accessories, especially all kinds of optical equipment and night vision equipment, through battlefield capture and black market purchase. Although it may not be compatible, it is enough for guerrillas to use. Moreover, the heavy weapons of infantry, such as rocket launchers and mortars, are relatively easy for guerrillas to get, so that the first few people in the special forces are at a disadvantage in firepower, so the special forces in the sky have to rely on martial arts, attack planes and gunboats to protect them.

The biggest advantage of guerrillas is to switch back and forth between soldiers and civilians. In the middle of the picture above is Masood, known as the lion of Panjshir. From his appearance, you can't see any difference between him and the people around him.

Guerrillas have the greatest advantage in human intelligence. Guerrillas are usually native people, and they are far more familiar with the local situation than special forces. Special forces can obtain information through various technical means, but the information obtained only through a single channel is flawed, and special forces have very high requirements for information security. Historically, most of the failures of special forces were due to intelligence problems.
