He was instrumental in putting down the Orlov revolt and was successful during the Austro-Turkish War of 1788–1791.[1] Due to his previous military success, he was promoted to Grand Vizier in 1789 and led Ottoman troops during the Russo-Turkish War of 1787–1792.[1] However, he was notably defeated by Alexander Suvorov at the Battle of Rymnik, despite outnumbering the Russian general's forces greatly.
