I would say yes, the Delta Force is a close American counterpart to the British SAS, and perhaps inspired to a large degree by the SAS.
American Delta force was betterd by S.A.S int he 60's and the S.A.S still help train Delta and Navy seals today.

Is jtf2 better than delta force?
This question is not asking for a comparison between Delta Force and ST6. Both are U.S. units. It is asking about JTF2, which is a CANADIAN special forces team. Is JTF2 (Joint Task Force 2) better than Delta Force ? Perhaps. Perhaps not. By its nature, JTF2 is a highly secretive commando unit. Very little is known about its members, or the operations they are involved in. Formed in 1992, JTF2 was established to fight terrorism, and today, in Afghanistan, they are a highly secretive unit who shun publicity, refuse to be photographed, and will not talk to "outsiders", according to Toronto Sun author Peter Worthington (himself a former Canadian military officer). As for the question of whether they are "better" than Delta Force.... Worthington answers it this way; "The trouble with our secretive commando force that proponents like to hint is as good as, or better than, Britain's SAS, or the U.S. Delta Force, Rangers, etc., is there is no way the public can ever know". "Maybe they are ask good as their quiet publicity implies. Maybe not". In other words, since JTF2 is a secretive unit, with little known about them, it is impossible to compare them to other special forces. Nope. Delta Force is maybe the best on what is does and has been doing and still is. However, it is to be noted that ST6 was created by Richard Marcinko after a failed rescue mission of Delta Force in Operation Eagle Claw. This might imply that ST6 could be an "improved" version of the Delta Force in some respect. Also it has been a general knowledge that Delta Force was patterned after the British SAS but ST6 was unique and original American stuff. It has been rumored that in terms of headcount, the ratio is somewhere between 1:2 or 1:3. That is, Delta Force operators is more than twice as many as ST6 operators. This could mean something as to the "selectiveness" of its members. Richard thought that Delta Force has grown too big and has become cumbersome, and so he made ST6 a sort of "leaner and meaner" in some sense. Also, Delta Force is also known as "Combat Applications Group" while ST6 is known as "Development Group" which kind of imply that the former "applies" what the latter "develops". To sum it all up, Delta Force might be better in terms of experience as it has been in service for a long time and is based on a much older elite unit. On the other hand, ST6 could be better in terms of readiness for immediate deployment, flexibility and versatility (i.e. they best operate both on land and maritime missions), and innovations in terms of training, tactics and equipment. I would say on land, Delta Force would have a slim advantage but on maritime ST6 has the advantage in a wider margin. Therefore, ST6 is probably the more complete or all-around unit.

No, what little is publicaly known about Delta Force indicates that they use the most appropriate equipment available for a particular mission. This includes their uniform, which can vary from mission to mission and also appears to vary depending on the individual soldier's preference.

What is better us army delta force or british sas?
It is not accurate or fair to say that one unit is "better" than the other. Both the US Army Delta Force and the British SAS are highly skilled and elite special forces units with different objectives and areas of expertise. They have undergone extensive training and have proven their capabilities in various missions around the world. Ultimately, the effectiveness of a unit depends on the specific situation, objectives, and the skills and experience of its individual operators.
