The Flechas (Portuguese for Arrows) were a elite paramilitary tactical unit of the Portuguese secret police (PIDE, latter renamed DGS) that operated in Angola and Mozambique during the Portuguese Colonial War. Unlike most of the other Portuguese special forces that were employed in the several theatres of operations of the conflict, the Flechas were not a de jure military unit but a PIDE/DGS (secret police) unit. Flechas had a reputation for atrocities, brutality, torture, and summary executions.

rdfs:comment	Die Flechas (Portugiesisch: Pfeile) waren eine im Portugiesischen Kolonialkrieg eingesetzte paramilitärische nachrichtendienstliche Spezialeinheit, die nicht den portugiesischen Streitkräften, sondern dem Nachrichtendienst PIDE/DGS unterstand. Sie setzte sich vorzugsweise aus Eingeborenen zusammen und wurde praktisch ausschließlich für Counterinsurgency-Operationen verwandt. (de) Les Flechas (flèches) étaient des unités des forces spéciales portugaises créées lors des guerres coloniales portugaises (1961-1974). Les Flechas étaient constituées d'escouades composées d'hommes des tribus locales et de déserteurs rebelles, qui se sont spécialisées dans la traque, la reconnaissance et les opérations de contre-insurrection. Ils patrouillaient parfois en uniformes capturés à l'ennemi, et étaient rémunérés en liquide, recevant une prime pour chaque guérillero ou arme capturés. (fr) Os Flechas foram forças de operações especiais dependentes da Polícia Internacional e de Defesa do Estado (PIDE), criadas, inicialmente em Angola, para atuar na Guerra do Ultramar.

Flechas) — спецподразделение политической полиции Португалии (ПИДЕ), которое было создано Португалией в своих колониях для борьбы с партизанско-повстанческим антиколониальным движением во время Португальской колониальной войны.
