Comment: Needs more significant coverage, secondary and reliable sources. Some do not even provide information directly about the battle as an in-depth source would do that. HilssaMansen19Irien1291S • spreading wiki love ~ Message here; no calls 22:57, 14 June 2025 (UTC)

Battle of Makhoni In 1562, it was captured by Kabardian and Russian-led forces during the Temryuk campaign. The fall of Makhoni and other neighboring towns marked a turning point in the regional power balance, leading to increased Kabardian and Russian influence.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]

History

In 1562, a joint force of Kabardians nobles, Nogai allies, and a Russian detachment under Grigory Pleshcheyev and Temryuk Idar conducted a military campaign in the central North Caucasus. Several Ingush settlements, including Makhoni, Engir, and Kavan, were captured. Russian sources report the towns were taken and tribute imposed. The campaign expanded Kabardian influence and marked early Russian involvement in the Caucasus.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]
