The man is insistent: Our ship is in difficulty, so keep your distance, he instructs another vessel over the radio.'Warship on your course,' he says. 'I am drifting. I'm not under command.'The broadcast, according to military officials, came from a Russia n spy ship, the Kildin, as the vessel packed with intelligence-gathering equipment drifted temporarily out of control off the Syrian coast on Jan. 23, with flames and black fumes rising from its smokestack.
They said the crew eventually regained control and that the Kildin is still stationed and gathering intelligence off the Syrian port of Tartus, accompanied by a frigate and a supply vessel. It is not clear what caused the blaze.Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said he wasn't aware of a fire aboard the Kildin and didn't say what the ship was doing at the time.He dismissed suggestions that it reflected poorly on Russian naval readiness.
