The United States handed over to the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) 155-mm howitzers M777. SDF - Kurdish formations that are supported by the United States, but are in conflict with Turkish troops. It turns out that these howitzers can now be used by the Kurds against the Turkish army at least in northern Syria.

The United States, nominally leading the international coalition against the Islamic State (*a terrorist organization banned in the territory of the Russian Federation) in Syria and Iraq, has delivered another batch of weapons to the Kurdish-led "Syrian Democratic Forces".

According to media affiliated with the Syrian opposition, a new batch, which includes weapons, ammunition, as well as vehicles, has already arrived in Derik (Al-Malikiya).

At the end of November, the Pentagon announced plans to "adjust" the supply of weapons that can be used against US NATO allies, in particular Turkey. However, it is not in the US plans to completely stop the supply of weapons to the Syrian Kurds.

The official representative of the US military department, Eric Pahon, noted that the Pentagon is going to make changes to military assistance to "Kurdish partners" to the extent that it is required for the final elimination of the "Islamic State"*.

The transfer of howitzers to the Kurdish armed groups has caused confusion and tension in Ankara. After all, Turkey understands that behind all the words about the fight against ISIS*, such weapons can be used by the Kurds against Turkish troops in the north of the SAR.
