The audio provides an unusual peek inside Russia's fleet of spy ships that NATO nations are watching closely.

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.
