Russian infantry captured the village of Lanckorona on 20 February 1771, displacing Polish cavalry.

Suvorov defeated Dumouriez's forces in a major field engagement on 21 May 1771.

Russian forces under Suvorov defeated Ottoman troops near Kozludzha on 20 June 1774.

Pugachev was betrayed by his Cossacks in mid-September 1774 and delivered to authorities at Yaitsk.

Suvorov personally led the Russians into fierce renewed fighting; despite being wounded twice, he routed the Turks, saved by grenadier Stepan Novikov.

Under cover of intensified bombing, 6,000 Ottoman troops landed on two sites near Kinburn on 12 October 1787, supported by fleet fire.

Russian attackers captured 10 of 15 trenches but, after losing leaders and facing flank fire and Turkish reinforcements, retreated in disarray to the fortress.

Ottoman demands over the Crimea and Black Sea holdings led Russia to declare war on 19 August 1787.

Russian forces under Potemkin, Suvorov, Repnin, and Möller besieged the Ottoman-held fortress in 1788.

Turkish sorties and naval engagements punctuated the siege; Suvorov was wounded in an August sortie.

The Russians captured the strategically important Pirezin (Berezan) Island on 7 November 1788.

Potemkin stormed Ochakov on 17 December [O.S. 6 December] 1788; the assault succeeded and Hüseyin Pasha was captured.

Suvorov received multiple honors recorded as for the victory at Rymnik, including a golden weapon and a snuff box from Joseph II.

The Grand Vizier raised a large army to avenge Focșani and defeat the Austro-Russian forces.

Suvorov and Josias of Coburg attacked and decisively defeated the much larger Ottoman army at the Râmnicul Sărat River.

The Ottoman Grand Vizier was dismissed on 2 December 1789 following his defeat at Rymnik.

Suvorov led the assault on the fortress, previously considered impregnable, after personal training and planning.

Crimean Tatars and Turks attempted to recapture the Old Fortress after the initial capture.

The Award Cross 'For the Capture of Izmail' was established in 1791.

Russian forces defeated Kościuszko's Polish army on 10 October 1794, wounding and capturing the Polish leader.

Suvorov's corps reached Warsaw's outskirts on 2 November 1794, driving back Polish-Lithuanian outposts with bayonets and beginning reconnaissance.

Russian troops stormed the fortified suburb of Praga on 4 November 1794, overwhelming defenders estimated at 22,000 to 30,000 men.

After the assault, Russian troops killed, looted, and burned the borough despite Suvorov's orders, torturing and murdering inhabitants.

To spare Warsaw Praga's fate, Wawrzecki withdrew his forces southwards on 5 November, and the Russians captured the city with little or no opposition.

Suvorov's Russo-Austrian army forced the Adda River near Cassano d'Adda, defeating Schérer's successor Moreau over three days of fighting.

On the first day Suvorov won a minor victory over Schérer's French at Lecco, sending Bagration's Russians there, most likely as a distraction.

The decisive 27 April engagement saw about 11,000 Austrians and Cossacks defeat 7,000 French at Vaprio d'Adda, north of Cassano.

On 27 April the Austrian Reisky regiment, 1,911 men strong, stormed the bridge-head fortifications at Cassano, contributing to Moreau's repulse.

Cossacks under Denisov, with Austrian hussars, charged the French left and broke into their infantry ranks, while Cossack patrols reached Inzago.

On 28 April Sérurier's isolated French division, out of ammunition and facing superior Coalition forces, surrendered after stubborn resistance at Verderio.
