Kurds attacked Russian military convoy in Syria, but were afraid to shoot

Armed Kurds attacked the Russian military, but were afraid to open fire.

A few hours ago, in the Tel Rifat area, a military vehicle flying the Russian flag was attacked by armed Kurdish groups. It is reported that stones and other objects were thrown into the vehicles of the Russian military, however, the Kurds (and we are talking, in all likelihood, about members of the Syrian Democratic Forces), were afraid to open fire, knowing full well what an open clash with the Russian military could develop into .

In the video footage presented, you can see the moment that captures how one of the residents of Tel Rifat throws a large stone directly at a Russian military vehicle. Given that the equipment was armored, such an attack did not cause any serious damage, however, this fact indicates that the Syrian Kurds are unhappy with the presence of Russian units in the region.

Notable is the fact that according to Syrian sources, the Russian military left the territory of Tel Rifat in nine vehicles. This does not exclude the possibility that the video footage captures just the moment of the movement of the Russian military from Tel Rifat.
