History
Unlike in many other European armies the roles of Russian dragoons were not limited to reconnaissance and small skirmishes. Instead dragoons made up the main battlefield cavalry of the Russian empire by the end of the 18th century. Accordingly these dragoons were trained in melee combat and drilled in cavalry tactics such as repeated melee charges or flanking attacks. Next to saber and pistols they were also armed with rifles which they variably shot from horseback or by foot. In the cavalry formation these rifles were primarily used on the flanks for defensive purposes, leading to their description as flankers. In the Napoleonic Wars the St. Petersburg Dragoons managed to capture the flags of four French regiments, including one cuirassier regiment. Compared to most other European powers at the time the Russian army had the highest ratio of cavalry to infantry, allowing it to easily compete with elite cavalry regiments of other states. Despite their specialization as battlefield cavalry the dragoons continued to carry out duties standing in the tradition of dragoons as mounted infantry. Dismounted these soldiers were able to conduct the "little war" in urban environments and sieges to sabotage enemy supplies and harass infantry forces. This was by definition a role of the “Jaegers”, another specialized force that like the elite dragoons appeared comparably late in the Russian army.
