On February 4, video footage of the joint interception by the Turkish Army and the FSA fighters of a gasoline truck that secretly transported weapons and ammunition for the Kurdish \u201cPeople\u2019s Self-Defense Forces\u201d (Kurd. Yek\u00eeney\u00ean Parastina Gel, YPG) leaked to the Internet. The truck\u2019s destination was the city of Afrin in the north-west of Syria. The city has been under YPG control since 2012.<\/p>\n

A large number of RPG-7 rocket launchers and missiles for “Fagot”, “Metis-M” and “Konkurs” anti-tank missile systems (ATGM) can be seen in the video. The weapons were hidden in the cistern of the truck for covert transportation to the Kurds. Although these weapons were developed in the USSR, Russian Federation currently remains their primary operator.<\/p>\n
