Animal style of the Scythians and the Mahabharata

Historians prove that the battle on the field of Kuru, described in the Maghabharata, took place around 1000 year BC. And we accept this reasoned version.*
We, Ukrainians, are interested in the Mahabharata as the first written source where the Sakas/Scythians are attested as active participants in historical events, namely, the great worldview-religious and interdynastic conflict of Aryavarta [Mahabharata. Sabha Parva. Book 2:23-29 ].
The Sakas were respected among the warriors assembled at Kurukshetra, and the 'animal' metaphor of the Maghabharata fully applies to them.
Satyaki, the commander of the 200,000-strong Pandava army lamented before the battle: "I will have to face the Sakas, endowed with the same courage as Sakra (Indra), who are as furious as tigers and difficult to stop, like a fire that has gathered strength." [Mahabharata. Drona Parva. Book 7:109].
