I think ChatGPT bot or whatever it is went to a different history class than I did but anyway while we wait here is the battle of Kursk according to my new friend.

It was the summer of 1943, and the battle of Kursk was raging on the ground. But up in the sky, a different kind of battle was taking place – one that would forever be known as the aerial dogfight between the bikini clad Russians and the bikini clad Germans.
The Russians, determined to protect their homeland, had recruited the most fearless and skilled female pilots they could find. These women, known as the Night Witches, were trained to fly the Yakovlev Yak-9 fighter planes and were known for their daring night raids.
Meanwhile, the Germans had a secret weapon of their own – a squadron of female pilots who were just as fearless and deadly as the Russians. These women, known as the Valkyries, flew Messerschmitt Me-109s and Focke-Wulf Fw-190s and had been trained by the best pilots in the Luftwaffe.
On the morning of July 5th, the two sides finally met in the skies above Kursk. The Germans had the advantage of altitude, having climbed above the Russians before the fight began. But the Russians were fighters to the core and refused to back down.
The aerial battle was fierce and intense, with planes swooping and diving, bullets whizzing by, and missiles exploding all around them. The women of both sides were fearless, their courage and determination driving them forward no matter the cost.
For hours the battle raged on, and it seemed like neither side would come out on top. But just when it looked like the Germans were gaining the upper hand, the Russians came up with a daring plan.
They flew in close formation, using their Yak-9s to shield themselves from the German fighters. Then, all at once, the Night Witches broke formation, diving towards the German planes and opening fire with their cannons.
The Valkyries were caught off guard and were quickly overwhelmed by the Russian onslaught. Plane after plane fell from the sky, their pilots ejected or perishing in the flames.
By the end of the battle, the skies above Kursk were thick with smoke and debris. But the Russians had emerged victorious, having defeated the German forces and protected their homeland from invasion.
And though the battle had been brutal, the bravery and skill of the women who had fought it would long be remembered by their comrades and their countrymen alike.
