313 fought without any fancy weapons or Armor but they still win, later on establishing one of the great Civilization the world has ever seen.

Technology was the same for both. Horses, camels, sowrds, bow arrow etc. Now fast forward to 2021, technology has to be at par & then coming quantity and bravery.

generally tribal armies are less armored than professional militaries. The strength of the Rashidun empire came from their effective use of light cavalry to out maneuver their enemy.

The day of lost eyes was before the rashiduns gained any horse archers. horse archery was not a thing that the arabs practiced, they had to learn it from persians and byzantines who joined their army

This can't be ayyubid. Ayubid empire collapsed before full plate armor was developed which is what that knight was clearly wearing. Looks Ottoman perhaps.

The Mughal armor

The top one is fantasy. The shoulder pad is too high. If you try to raise your arms you will crush your head. Also, I have never seen Mughal armor like that. Mughals generally never wore full-plate armor, they preferred plate-mail which is plate linked together with chainmail. here is a sindhi example
