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.”

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. “Assessing the state of the fleet based on the breakdown of one particular ship or one particular malfunction is not professional,” Peskov said.

Translation: "Our shit navy is not a reflection of our shit navy."
