Summary/Abstract: Influence of Hussites’ Wars of 1419—1485 on the development of fortification, armament and military art of Moldavia in 40—90 of the 15th c. is elucidated in this article. The Hussites’ role in the fortification of defence capacity of Belgorod’s and Kiliya’s fortresses is analysed too. The author follows the tracks of Hussite’s military art in strategy and tactics of Stephan the Great, during the battles of Vaslui (1475) and Valea Alba (1476) with the Turks. He notes also some common lines between «foreign campaigns» of Hussites’ field armies of the second half of 20s — early 30s years of 15th c. and military operations of Moldavia’s detachments on the territory of Pokutia and Podilia during so-called «Mukha’s rebellion» in 1490—1492.
