The Shayetet 13 (Flotilla 13) is Israeli Commando Squad that appears in Nation Pack: Israel DLC of Wargame: Red Dragon.

History[]

Formerly known as "Kommando Yami", Shayetet 13 is the special operations force of Israeli Navy. Israel has compulsory military service and takes pains to identify promising candidates for its elite units before the recruits are admitted into the IDF. Soldiers scoring high on both their pre-conscription aptitude tests and psychological batteries may be given oppurtunity to serve in Shayetet 13. Despite the extensive testing, only about 30% of the candidates actually pass the week-long gibush (selection process).

Training begins with standard para-dropping course and assignment to a team of troops. Soldiers then attent courses on combat marksmanship, communications, intelligence gathering, hand-to-hand combat, infiltration and exfiltration techniques. They also receive extensive training in seamanship, scuba and underwater navigation. The qualification period generally lasts 24 months. The soldiers who arrive at their parent unit as a cohesive team with years of experience together.

Shayetet 13 is very similar to US Navy SEALs, in terms of operation and methodology. They conduct special reconnaissance or direct assaults against coastal targets, as well as maritime counter-terrorist activities. It also assists in preparing beachheads for amphibious assaults.

The B-300 is a 82mm anti-tank system first developed by IMI in 1970s and entered service in the 1980s, it is what SMAW based on.

Overview[]

As mentioned earlier, the stats of the B-300 are highly similar to those of SMAW, but the former does not have AoE capability, and the RoF is only 10 RPM. Given that both AKM and PKM are the most basic equipment in Redfor infantry, the anti-personnel capability of Shayetet 13 is quite mediocre and should be treated as an advanced anti-armor infantry. Therefore, Shayetet 13 is not a necessary unit on the deck, as Tzanhanim '95 is also equipped with the B-300 (the anti-infantry capability is lower of course).
