    This video asks how would a battalion of modern day US marines do against the Mongol Horde. What does each side have in terms of numbers and equipment? What tactical options do both sides have? Would morale or logistics influence the outcome? Could the Marines change the course of history?

    I laughed when he said an arrow landing near the Marines would cause panic but there’s no issue for the Mongols coming at modern weaponry hey? 😂

    The analysis is ok but i feel like the marines knowing they are dealing with such numbers against them, they would take non traditional combat.

    lol Binkov is amazingly dumb

  • @OpenBorders4isengard

    I think it would be more interesting if you gave them 2 or 3 tanks or some armored vehicles.

  • @Ezraaaaaaaaaaaa

    Wouldn't the horses get scared from the 40mm's and mortart raining on them and just run away with the riders?

  • @EniGmav34

    "At a safe distance" fact is that mongols have no damn idea of what is the "safe distance" against modern weaponry

  • @EniGmav34

    "The US forces knows about their history"

  • @lolsu7320

    dont look that shit high, just dont.

    This guy is high

  • @neo-didact9285

    Ya dun goofed with this one.

  • @pageone3791

    Maker of this video knows nothing about 🇺🇸 Marines! With M-16 A4’s and sniper rifles they would break the morale of Mogul warriors. Mirrors alone would stop the attack.

  • @pageone3791

    🇺🇸Marines are NEVER outgunned!

  • @tzoninghard2425

    Dudes retarded, if amarine company cqn win against 10+regiments of chinese who also had semi modern guns then why couldnt they wil against mongolians.

  • @JustAnAmerican_

    No American goes into battle without air supremacy. But if this somehow happened, if one divison of marines can take down 15000+ Chinese soldiers without support, I’m sure they can clap the mongols. The American military is the most powerful military in WORLD History.

  • @andrycanz8693

    The Chinese Marines would certainly lose. The US? I don't think so.

  • @coopboulton

    This is the worst take ever. No modern military battalion would lose to a Mongol horde. Your whole premise of them winning is due to the marines being incompetent and wasting ammo out of range. Well what if they aren’t stupid and don’t do that then what happens? Also your second point that a person on foot has little chance against a lancer is also stupid. The invention of repeating riffles made lancers completely obsolete and useless. WWI proved that a man of foot with just a bolt gun was much more dangerous and deadly than a big dumb horse. And modern small arms are much better than WW1 era.

  • @Valinor32

    You do realize if they are planning a stationary defense they would most likely have dug some form of foxhole which also includes overhead cover which would render those arrow volleys almost irrelevant.

  • @jerrygoller4269

    This has to be your funniest, silliest video yet. Could a Marine Battalion win? Absolutely. It would be a slaughter. You obviously have no knowledge of Marine tactics or capability. The Marines in your scenario are acting like idiots. With a few exceptions, Marines aren't idiots. They are highly skilled mass killers. Ask the Japanese.

  • @TheDrunkenPhaeron

    Listen good video idea but speaking from experience in USMC any officer worth his salt would not let MGs and mortars open up at the furthest limits of range on scouts. Just look at the battle of Wake Island and you could see Marines would sit and wait for their weapons best chance to do the most damage. I am aware that a horse can take a surprising amount of bullets to put down (look at WW1 and WW2) but they ain't standing up to pre sighted mortars and 50 cals that wouldn't waist their ammo like idiots and also you forgot the MK19 which I have never known a marine detachment to leave base without
