Top 3 best and worst Ottoman/Turkish generals

[atatwolf]

OK, that's one instance. Any other? They had smaller forces when invading eastern Turkey (Kars, Erzerum, Ardahan, Beyazid, etc).

Here is the complete picture:
1 Russo-Turkish War (1568–1570) Ottoman military defeat[1]
2 Russo-Turkish War (1571–1574) Crimean Khanate and Ottoman Empire made no further campaigns.[3]
3 Russo-Turkish War (1676–1681) Treaty of Bakhchisarai[4]
4 Russo-Turkish War (1686–1700) Russian victory
5 Russo-Turkish War (1710–1711) Ottoman victory[5]
6 Russo-Austrian-Turkish War (1735–1739) Treaty of Niš (1739)[6]
7 Russo-Turkish War (1768–1774) Russian victory
8 Russo-Turkish War (1787–1792) Russian victory
9 Russo-Turkish War (1806–1812) Russian victory
10 Russo-Turkish War (1828-1829) Russian victory
11 Crimean War (1853–1856) Ottoman, British and French victory
12 Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878) Russian victory
13 World War I: Caucasus Campaign (1914–1918) Inconclusive

Ottomans only won once during 1710. And Crimean war was succesful thanks to British and French help. All other wars we lost against the Russians.

I don't know enough about Turkish/Ottoman history to comment but where would Kemal Reis come in this classification?

I know he fought against Venice and also rescued Moors and Jews from Spanish Inquisition

The late 18th century wars however,the russians had good generals like suvorov and potemkin.Plus bagration and kutuzov.
Especially suvorov,the undefeated general is russia's alexander of sorts.At this time ottoman military leadership wasn't as good either.
