Testudo - The Ruse • Kursk Oblast Incursion (2024) Lyrics

The skies are darkened, Russians blind
A ruse so bold, their fate's designed
They heard of Kherson, and took the bait
But Kursk was where they sealed their fate
No warnings came from up above
The AFU moved with skill and nerve
Russian drones jammed, their signals lost
Ukraine advanced, no time to pause
Russian skies were black, no watchful eye
Their vaunted strength began to die
Outplayed, deceived, they couldn't see
Ukraine's strike, now history
They struck like thunder, unseen, unknown
Through jamming skies, new power shown
To the north, where Kursk would fall
Ukraine's might, defying all
Blinded eyes, great surprise
Through cunning, watch their banners rise
Through the night, the Kursk ruse springs
The strike was swift, clipped their wings
On August 6th, the trap was sprung
Across the line, Ukraine's banners hung
Brigades of steel surged ahead
While Russian forces broke and fled
Espionage failed, its pride laid low
Oversight exposed, their weakness shows
The Seym was crossed, and bridges fall
The AFU's advance, surprise to all
No drone in flight, no warning near
Ukraine advanced, their path was clear
Russian's conscripts surrendered, their ranks destroyed
Russian morale just decoyed
They struck like thunder, unseen, unknown
Through jamming skies, their power shown
To the north, where Kursk would fall
Ukraine's might, defying all
Blinded eyes, great surprise
Through cunning, watch their banners rise
Through the night, the Kursk ruse springs
The strike was swift, clipped their wings
Their skies were black, no watchful eye
Their vaunted strength began to die
Outplayed, deceived, they couldn't see
Ukraine's strike, now history
They struck like thunder, unseen, unknown
Through jamming skies, their power shown
To the north, where Kursk would fall
Ukraine's might, defying all
Blinded eyes, Ukraine's surprise
Through cunning, watch their banners rise
Through the night, the Kursk ruse springs
The strike was swift, it clipped their wings
