An observation tower and nearby equipment were located and attacked with Paveway IV guided bombs.

In the early hours of Saturday morning [December 6th], a further GR4 patrol in the same area also successfully attacked an ISIL armoured personnel carrier using a Brimstone missile.

On Sunday [December 7th], 2 Tornados were on reconnaissance when Iraqi troops reported coming under fire from terrorists in the vicinity of Bayji. The RAF aircraft responded rapidly, and when they arrived on the scene were able to spot the ISIL position. Since the target was in a built-up area, a very careful assessment was made in cooperation with another coalition surveillance aircraft, and the aircrew used the small and extremely precise Brimstone missile to carry out a successful attack which struck the enemy position.

Early this morning [December 8th], a fourth Tornado patrol operating in north-western Iraq, around Mount Sinjar, located 2 ISIL armoured personnel carriers and hit them with Brimstone missiles.

Premier vol opérationnel des Mirage 2000D sur le théâtre irakien

Neuf semaines après le début de l’opération Chammal, les armées françaises ont déployé un détachement de chasse en Jordanie avec le soutien des autorités du pays. Ce dispositif permet d’adapter l’engagement français dans la lutte contre Daech en réduisant les délais de transit des avions de chasse jusqu’à la zone d’opérations. Le détachement est actuellement articulé autour de trois Mirage 2000D, arrivés en Jordanie le 28 novembre. Trois autres appareils complèteront ce détachement dans les jours à venir.

Parallèlement, les Rafale déployés dans le golfe arabo-persique (GAP) vont poursuivre leurs missions en les orientant principalement sur le renseignement dans la profondeur. Ils pourront cependant renforcer à tout moment la capacité de frappe de la France.

Les militaires de la force Chammal poursuivent quotidiennement leurs missions de reconnaissance armée et de renseignement, afin d’appuyer l’action des forces armées irakiennes au sol.

Lancée le 19 septembre 2014 sous contrôle du contre-amiral Beaussant, commandant la zone océan Indien (Alindien), l’opération interarmées Chammal vise, à la demande du gouvernement irakien et en coordination avec les alliés de la France présents dans la région, à assurer un soutien aérien aux forces armées irakiennes dans leur lutte contre le groupe terroriste autoproclamé Daech.

Le 5 décembre 2014, la force Chammal a de nouveau participé à un raid aérien planifié de la coalition, dans le Nord-Est de l’Irak, visant à détruire des positions de combat de l’organisation terroriste autoproclamée Daech.

Tôt ce matin (7h00, heure de Paris), une patrouille de deux Rafale équipés de missiles AASM s’est jointe à une opération aérienne interalliée regroupant une quinzaine d’avions de sept pays de la coalition.

Elle visait à neutraliser une vingtaine d’objectifs constitués de points d’appui, de postes de tir, de bunkers et de postes de commandement utilisés par Daech à environ 20 kilomètres au Nord-Est de Mossoul. Au cours d’un vol de près de six heures, les Rafale français ont attaqué les trois objectifs qui leur étaient assignés appuyant ainsi directement les unités irakiennes engagées au combat au sol contre Daech.

On 5 December, while taking part in coalition missions in support of Iraqi security forces ground operations conducted in an area north-east of Mosul, two Canadian Armed Forces CF-188 Hornets successfully struck ISIL fighting positions consisting of two bunkers and two heavy machine gun emplacements by using precision-guided ammunition.
