Operation Tsar Ursa was the Eurasian Soviet Red Army codename for the military invasion of the Americas by way of the Arctic Ocean, as part of their prosecution of the Third World War against the Free Market Block.

The operation called for achieving dominance of the Arctic Ocean as well as sub-orbital tracks above it (including air superiority), and an invasion through FMB Canada and the former United States of America, in tandem with intelligence-supported rebellions and civil wars throughout South America. While the plan was ultimately unsuccessful, it was a hard-contested conflict and resulted in the destruction of much of the Lucas Constellation. While this would have left the Free Market Block open to nuclear attack, the severe expenditure of nuclear arms in the First Battle of the Arctic and the failed Project Great Way meant that the Eurasian Soviet was not in a position to capitalize on this leverage before the defensive curtain could be shored up.
