Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate reports Russia has stopped making the Geran-3 drone to focus on advanced Geran-4 and Geran-5 models, producing about 3,000 per month at the Alabuga site in Tatarstan. These jet-powered drones hit speeds up to 500 km/h with better range and heavier warheads, making them tougher for Ukraine’s interceptors to stop, while Russia has built a stockpile of around 6,200 Geran drones as of August 2026. The shift aims to pierce Ukraine’s improving air defenses, raising fears of mass strikes on energy infrastructure that could cause power outages in the cold months ahead. Ukrainian officials call for quicker interceptors and more short-range defenses to keep pace.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Russia is stockpiling thousands of faster, deadlier drones just as winter looms, putting Ukraine's defenses to the test.

In a 2-0 loss to the Miami Marlins, Pittsburgh ace Paul Skenes pitched five innings on 65 pitches, allowing one earned run on a homer by Esteury Ruiz while striking out four. His fastball averaged a career-low 95.7 mph, down from his season mark and well below his prior years' 98-plus velocity, sparking concerns about mechanics, workload, or an eased-back approach. Skenes understood manager Don Kelly's decision to pull him, saying he'd do the same, as the Marlins' Eury Pérez tossed seven shutout innings and Pittsburgh stranded runners in defeat. Now 9-11 with a 3.88 ERA, Skenes insists he feels healthy and is adjusting, while the out-of-contention Pirates ponder their star pitcher's path forward.
