many turkish weapons of all types, tens of thousands in fact, could be found outside the walls of vienna after 1683. after a polite discussion with the polish winged hussars, in a spirit of camaraderie, the turks decided they had overstayed their welcome and didn't need them any more, some of them went home. a large majority decided to stay permanently, tho they were essentially motionless thereafter.

did similar large turkish ambassadorial parties ever get close to moskva?
