A video shared by activists on social media showed a violent friction between an American vehicle for transporting Tiger soldiers and a Russian Typhoon military vehicle on a highway in Qamishli in northeastern Syria.
The friction occurred when the Russian patrol tried to overtake its American counterpart on the road, and the American vehicle's reaction was violent, as it prevented its counterpart from the Russian military police from passing and bypassing it.

According to what the video showed, the friction between the two leagues nearly killed a person on the road, but he fled as soon as the two vehicles approached him.
The video received wide interaction on Twitter and Facebook, and the interactions varied between the mockery of the inter-patrol conflict and the anger at the drivers' lack of interest in civilian life.

Moghradoun said that this friction between the Russian and American periodicals reflects the conflict on Syrian soil between the major powers, and the Syrian regime's loss of sovereignty over its lands.

Others said that preventing the American patrol of its Russian counterpart from overcoming it reflects the strength of the United States of America and its control over the regions of northeastern Syria, especially in Qamishli, where there is an American base.
