Which counterterrorism unit is popularly known as the 'Cobra Unit'?

  1. Delta Force

  2. SEAL Team Six

  3. GEK

  4. SAS

The correct answer is: GEK

The Cobra Unit is the code name for the special counterterrorism unit known as GEK (Groupement des Forces Spéciales Ivoirien). Delta Force, SEAL Team Six, and SAS are all elite counterterrorism units, however, they are not referred to as the Cobra Unit. Delta Force is the official name for the United States Army Special Operations Command's 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta, while SEAL Team Six is the informal name for the United States Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU). SAS, or Special Air Service, is a special forces unit in the British Army. Therefore, while these are all respected and highly skilled counterterrorism units, they are not commonly referred to as the Cobra Unit.
