1. Zamburak

   Zamburak (Persian: زمبورک), literally meaning wasp, was a specialized form of self-propelled artillery from the early modern period, featuring small swivel guns mounted on and fired from camels. Its operators was known as a zamburakchi. It was used by the gunpowder empires, especially the Iranian empires of the Safavid dynasty, Timurid Empire and Afsharid dynasty, due to the ruggedness of the Iranian Plateau, which made typical transportation of heavy cannons difficult. The zamburak became a popular mode of warfare in the 18th century in Indian subcontinent. The Pashtuns used it in the Battle of Gulnabad, routing a numerically superior imperial Safavid army. It was also used successfully in Nader's Campaigns, when the shah and military genius Nader Shah utilized a zamburak corps in conjunction with a regular corps of conventional cannon to devastating effect in numerous battles such as at the Battle of Damghan (1729), the Battle of Yeghevārd, and the Battle of Karnal. A large number of zamburaks were also successfully employed by Ahmed Shah Durrani during his raid in north Indian plain in defeating the Maratha forces near Panipat.

1. zamburak

   A zamburak is a type of small, mobile artillery used primarily in the Middle East and Central Asia, particularly in the military forces of Iran and Afghanistan during the 18th and 19th centuries. The name is derived from the Persian word for a camel, as these artillery pieces were traditionally mounted on the backs of camels for increased mobility. The cannon itself was usually a swivel gun, allowing it to be easily aimed and fired in different directions.
