Скачать или смотреть The Cannons That Broke the Myth of Cavalry — Chaldiran 1514

Chaldiran, 1514: on an open plain, cavalry should have ruled the day—until cannons rewrote the rules of distance. In this episode, we break down how the Ottoman gunline and artillery turned speed into a liability, forced riders into kill zones, and shattered the one thing shock warfare needs: a unified impact. You’ll see how fieldworks funnel charges, why smoke and continuous volleys fracture timing, and how horses and formations collapse when thunder becomes the battlefield’s rhythm. Chaldiran isn’t just “guns vs swords.” It’s a system that turns bravery into wasted momentum—proving that once firepower controls the corridor, the myth of unstoppable cavalry dies in real time.
