Russian troops are not coordinating their actions with the Americans, also reportedly attacked a group of rebels who are supported by the United States.
And then there is the probability (albeit small) military engagement of the Americans and the Russians.

Turkish warplanes fully integrated into the coalition plan of attack, as well as the Australian, who began to perform tasks in Syria in September. France also started bombing in the same month.
