    At the Battle of Vienna 1683
    King Jan III Sobieski led a massive united charge towards the Ottomans.
    This was the largest cavalry charge in history, with about 18,000 horsemen involved and while there were other allied cavalry present, it was the Winged Hussars who led the charge!

    A cry for help in time of need, await relief from holy league
    60 days of siege, outnumbered and weak
    Sent a message to the sky, wounded soldiers left to die
    Will they hold the wall or will the city fall
    Dedication
    Dedication
    They're outnumbered 15 to one
    And the battle's begun
    Then the winged hussars arrived
    Coming down the mountainside
    Then the winged hussars arrived
    Coming down they turned the tide
    As the days are passing by and as the dead are piling high
    No escape and no salvation
    Trenches to explosive halls are buried deep beneath the walls
    Plant the charges there and watch the city fear
    Desperation

    It's a desperate race against the mine
    And a race against time

      This video had some misconceptions popularized by pop culture. During battle they had at most one short wing attached to the saddle. Also the intimidating sound in pop culture connected to the wings in reality were made by a flags connected to lances. Which by the way were that long despite what he said they were probably to long to handle in battle. Hussars had leather strap with bucket attached to the saddle. They put the end of the lance in it so bot only rider didn't have to hold the whole weight in his hand but it also provided secondary leverage point for better handling

      it became pointless for a soldier to be so well trained, when you can just train a peasant with an easy to use weapon.
      such an elite soldier is a long term investment, not only that.
      it requires that you have an aristocracy of knights, a social class that can uphold the profession of elite soldier, and pocket the costs.
      and you cannot let a lower social class become the knights because that's dangerous, can't let the plebs have power. also they probably cant afford the up front costs

    The hussars are maybe the greatest cavalry force ever being able to win victory’s while heavily outnumbered with minimal losses, consistently, their ability to constantly reform and charge over and over again changed some battles, and one of the most impressive battles is probably the battle of hodow village which saw 400 hussars against around 40,000 tartar raiders around the village of hodow, they first engaged the 10,000 man vanguard driving it back before fortifying the village and driving the entire enemy army back

      Unfortunately, you are lying. If you had real hussar armor, it would not have wings because hussars never used tchem.
