The Battle of Akhaltsikhe during the Russo-Turkish War, 1828–1829, may refer to one of the following. Firstly, an offensive battle under the walls of Akhaltsikhe on August 21 (August 9 O.S.), 1828, between 9,000 Russians under Field-Marshal Paskevich on the offensive and 30,000 Turks under Kios-Mahomet-Pasha. The Russians were victorious by a swift and surprise attack in a heavy thunderstorm. They then successfully stormed the Akhaltsikhe Castle (28 (O.S. 16) August 1828) after a week-long siege. Secondly, a successful Russian defense of the same fortress by a garrison under General Nicholas Muravyov from a 20,000 Turkish force under Ahmed-Bey on March 3–16 (February 20 – March 4 O.S.), 1829, during the same conflict.[4]
