They made up most of the prime of Medieval arab armies and made big sultanates, like the Seljuks, the Ghaznavids etc. The Crusaders mostly fought Asian Turkic warriors, for examples Zengi started the first anti-crusader campaigns, followed by his son Nur al-Din, Saladin started as a soldier of Nur al-Din and at the battle of Montgisard Kipchak mamluks saved Saladin's ass. Later the Kipchak slave-soldiers kicked the asses of their masters and the Kipchak Baybars kicked the Crusaders out
The mamluks were originally Kipchaks until Alans slowly replaced them, in fact Whites became a majority amongst Elite mercenaries/slave-soldiers around the 1300s as the flow of Kipchak slaves was reducing
btw if you are interested in the History of Caucasians in the Middle East you can check the Circassian/Chechen diaspora that lives in the Levant, Circassians re-created the capital of Jordania that the locals abandonned, Circassians still make the royal guard of the king of Jordania and in Syria Chechen fighters were considered to be the Elite of the rebels. Some things never change
