Abstract:
During his 35-year rule, the master Amir Temur was ready to fight against the 
powerful rulers of his time for the peace and tranquility of his country. Timur did not stop his 
enemies during military campaigns and this played a big role in his victories. Many historians 
include Alexander the Great and Amir Temur among the three great generals and Genghis 
Khans, and among them, they highly value Temur's work. This is a correct opinion, because 
neither Alexander nor Genghis Khan found a worthy opponent in their time. Amir Temur's 
opponents were rulers who threatened the whole of Europe and Russia in their time. There were 
times when Temur was defeated in his time, but he always regained his strength for the peace 
of his country.

Military art of the Timurids is a significant contribution of Amir Timur and his descendants, 
especially Babur, to the development of world western art. This was recognized by experts and 
generals. Considered a great commander and an innovative military organizer, Sahibgiron 
managed to create a disciplined army, to manage the units of the army wisely during the battle, 
to quickly send the western forces to the places where the fate of the battle would be decided, 
to eliminate the existing obstacles and pitfalls with entrepreneurship, and to keep the fighting 
spirit in the army at a high level. Amir Temur and the army of the Timurids gathered soldiers 
from the peasants, artisans, farmers, as well as from the herdsmen. In addition to the chief 
soldiers who formed the basis of the military forces, the infantry also served in the army. 
Sahibqiran was one of the first in the East to introduce a firearm (topra'd) to the army. During 
the Timurid period, other types of this weapon (hammer, farangi, pot, etc.) became widespread. 
Special military units and divisions have been established to conduct combat operations in the 
mountainous regions. Amir Temur was the first in the history of world military work to 
introduce the order of deploying the army into 7 arms on the battlefield, as opposed to the 
traditional 5 divisions. This news was later adopted by generals such as Tokhtamysh and 
Shaibani Khan. According to Ibn Arabshah's testimony, there were units of women in 
Sahibqiran's army, who stood on the same line as men and showed examples of heroism and 
fortitude. 
The army of Timurids was clearly organized in terms of numbers, its battle order was 
improved, it was equipped with modern weapons and equipment, the units were distinguished 
from each other by uniforms, flags and flags. Such a distinction came in handy in commanding 
an army in battle. Destroying the enemy's defenses by various methods, attacking the 
opponent's big cities, besieging castles, fortresses and fortresses for a long time, encircling the 
enemy's forces as widely as possible, conquering villages, cities, districts, regions one by one, 
pursuing the enemy until they are completely destroyed. practices such as appointing trusted
