The Mongol Horse Archers

[727Sky]

What Made The Mongol Horse Archers SO DESTRUCTIVE? (Battle of Ain Jalut) 1260 AD — The unstoppable Mongol war machine meets its first true defeat. For decades, the Mongol horse archers terrorized Eurasia — lightning-fast, perfectly coordinated, and terrifyingly efficient. Their composite bows could pierce armor at incredible distances, and their mobility shattered traditional armies long before contact. But at the Battle of Ain Jalut, everything changed. In the deserts of the Levant, the Mamluk Sultanate faced the Mongols head-on — and won. This is the story of the most destructive cavalry force in history, and the tactics that made them nearly invincible… until one brilliant commander turned their own speed against them.

. . . and when the consequences of all of the reckless decisions now being made by western "leaders" come calling, horse-mounted warriors will again "be a thing".

Little boy:  "Daddy, wot's that in the ditch ?"

Father: "They were called drones.  They flew in the air and attacked us from above."

Little boy: "They can't attack us any more ?"

Father: "No, their batteries ran out of power.  Batteries were no longer produced and so could not be replaced."

Little boy: "Wot's a battery ?"
