- Source: 1480 Sarai raid
The Sarai raid (Russian: Рейд на Сарай) in 1480 was a joint campaign of a small Russian-Crimean detachment against the capital of the Great Horde. The campaign was caused by the fact that Akhmat Khan mobilized all his forces and sent them to Urga, leaving the capital defenseless. The destruction of the barn was the main reason for Akhmat's departure from Urga.
The Russians could have completely destroyed this city, but the Crimean khan asked them not to do this, and the Russians left with a large amount loot, the khan's wives and Lithuanian politicians.
