Battle of Kamieniec Podolski 22nd October 1633 – Description Attempt

During the war of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth against Russia in 1632–1634, at the same time one of the Turkish officials, Sandzakbej of Silistria Mehmed Abazy pasha, invaded the area of Kamieniec Podolski. Both the Turkish and Polish-Lithuanian commanders had similar organizational problems. Due to the war of the Commonwealth with Russia and the Ottoman Empire with Persia, this conflict has been taking place in the shadow of major struggles on distant fronts, making it impossible to use the full potential of struggling states. It was necessary to cooperate with other entities (for Koniecpolski with borderland magnates and Cossacks) for Abazy Mehmed with Ottoman vassals, some Tatar tribes and other governors of Turkish provinces), even communication with the central authority was extremely unstable. Despite this, thanks to better organization, gathering information about the enemy, proper preparation of the area, experience of the Swedish wars of 1626–1629 and his own skills, hetman Koniecpolski was victorious in the battle of Kamieniec Podolski on October 22 1633.
