Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Cossacks were groups of professional warriors first recorded as a separate group of society around late 15th century. Russian Cossacks are typically seen as agile cavalry armed with lances and sabres, while Ukrainian Cossacks mostly fought on feet and were notorious for their mastery of musketeer tactics. Cossacks based near Black Sea river mouths also became pirates/privateers taking advantage of the Ottoman Navy's reduced presence in an area they had thought secure and of the difficulty seeing their low profiled raiding vessels. |
