Cette semaine, la force Chammal a réalisé 21 missions aériennes aux cours desquelles une quinzaine de patrouilles de reconnaissance armée a permis la destruction d’objectifs au sol. A l’issue d’une escale technique planifiée, la frégate anti-aérienne Jean Bart a repris la mer et poursuit sa mission dans le golfe Arabo-Persique.

CHAMMAL : point de situation du 15 janvier 2015

Le vendredi 9 janvier, opérant dans des conditions météorologiques difficiles, une patrouille de reconnaissance armée a détruit deux positions de combat de Daech dans la région de Mossoul, au Nord de l’Irak.

Lors d’une mission de reconnaissance armée le dimanche 11 janvier 2015, deux avions de chasse français sont intervenus contre Daech, guidés par un drone tactique qui suivait des combats au sol. Leur action a permis la neutralisation de combattants dans une zone de combat située au nord de Falloujah.

Le lundi 12 janvier, les chasseurs français sont de nouveau intervenus dans la région de Mossoul afin de neutraliser un poste de combat depuis lequel les combattants de Daech opéraient des tirs de mortier.

Sur le volet maritime, la frégate anti-aérienne Jean Bart a appareillé samedi 10 janvier après une escale de maintenance. Elle poursuit sa mission d’escorte du porte-avions Carl Vinson et de contrôle de l’espace aérien irakien au sein de la Task Force 50.

Lancée le 19 septembre 2014, l’opération 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 dispositif est structuré autour de neuf avions Rafale, six avions Mirage 2000D, un ravitailleur C-135 FR, un avion de patrouille maritime Atlantique 2 et la frégate anti-aérienne Jean Bart, intégrée dans le groupe aéronaval américain constitué autour du porte-avions USS Carl Vinson.

In the early hours of Tuesday 13 January, an RAF Reaper was once again providing air support to the peshmerga in the north of Iraq when an ISIL vehicle was identified being used to reopen a terrorist communications route previously damaged by an attack. The RPAS hit the vehicle with Hellfire missiles and initial analysis suggests that the vehicle was successfully destroyed.

Le lundi 12 janvier, les chasseurs français sont de nouveau intervenus dans la région de Mossoul afin de neutraliser un poste de combat depuis lequel les combattants de Daech opéraient des tirs de mortier.

12-01-2015 – kl. 16:42– De danske F-16-fly, der er udsendt som bidrag til Operation Inherent Resolve, har siden seneste opdatering 5. januar fløjet 9 missioner og anvendt 6 bomber.

Missionerne, som de danske fly har deltaget i, har været offensive, og de danske fly har i den forløbne periode deltaget i missioner i områderne omkring Bayji og Al-Anbar-regionen. Målene for bomberne har været fjendtlige styrker.

De danske fly har fløjet Close Air Support-missioner (CAS), hvor flyene er indsat direkte som luftstøtte til styrker på landjorden. Her vil flyene patruljere over et bestemt område, hvorefter de vil kunne blive indsat af koalitionen, når der er behov for støtte. Luftstøtten vil variere afhængig af, hvad der er behov for. Det kan både dreje sig om overvågningsopgaver og bombninger af mål.

Derudover har de danske fly gennemført flere missioner, der kaldes Airborne Alert Interdiction. Ved denne type missioner patruljerer flyet i luften, samtidig med at piloten får udpeget nogle objekter og steder på jorden, der skal ses nærmere på. Hvis der her lokaliseres og identificeres militære mål, kan flyene på samme måde som under Close Air Support-missioner (CAS) beordres til at angribe disse mål.

På de missioner, hvor de danske F-16 ikke har anvendt våben, har de bidraget med overvågning og indhentning af efterretninger. På sådanne overvågningsmissioner er flyene dog altid klar til at anvende våben, hvis der er behov for det.

Siden første mission den 16. oktober 2014, har det danske bidrag i alt fløjet 139 missioner og anvendt 93 bomber. Alle de danske bomber er præcisionsstyrede, hvilket vil sige, at de styres mod deres mål ved hjælp af enten laser eller GPS.

On Jan. 11, U.S. and Coalition military forces continued to attack ISIL terrorists in Syria, using attack, fighter, and bomber aircraft to conduct 11 airstrikes. Separately, U.S. and Coalition military forces conducted 16 airstrikes in Iraq, using attack, fighter, and remotely piloted aircraft against ISIL terrorists. All strikes took place between 8 a.m., Jan. 11, and 8 a.m., Jan. 12, local time. The following is a summary of the strikes conducted since the last press release:

On 11 January 2015, while taking part in coalition missions in support of Iraqi security forces (ISF) ground operations conducted south of Bayji, two CF-188 Hornets successfully struck an ISIL fighting position using precision guided munitions.

Midden-Oosten

Na 375 missies en meer dan 200 keer de wapens te hebben ingezet, keerde het eerste F-16-detachement uit het Midden-Oosten in Nederland terug. Het F16-detachement is ingezet om de opmars van ISIS tegen te gaan met 6 F-16’s en 250 militairen.

Het nieuwe detachement vloog afgelopen week inmiddels meerdere missies boven verschillende provincies van Irak. Daarbij zetten zij wapens in tegen doelen en strijders van ISIS. In Erbil en Bagdad arriveerden de eerste trainers voor de Iraakse en Koerdische strijdkrachten.

On Jan. 10, U.S. and Coalition military forces continued to attack ISIL terrorists in Syria, using attack, fighter, and bomber aircraft to conduct 10 airstrikes. Separately, U.S. and Coalition military forces conducted nine airstrikes in Iraq, using attack and fighter aircraft against ISIL terrorists. All strikes took place between 8 a.m., Jan. 10, and 8 a.m., Jan. 11, local time. The following is a summary of the strikes conducted since the last press release:

January 10th 2015: On Jan. 9, U.S. and Coalition military forces continued to attack ISIL terrorists in Syria, using attack, fighter, and bomber aircraft to conduct 12 airstrikes. Separately, U.S. and Coalition military forces conducted three airstrikes in Iraq, using attack, fighter, and remotely piloted aircraft against ISIL terrorists. All strikes took place between 8 a.m., Jan. 9, and 8 a.m., Jan. 10, local time. The following is a summary of the strikes conducted since the last press release:

On January 9, while taking part in coalition missions in support of Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) ground operations conducted in the vicinity of Ramadi, west of Baghdad, two CF-188 Hornets successfully struck an ISIL transport truck carrying an Armoured Personnel Carrier by using precision guided munitions. Striking ISIL military equipment degrades their fighting capabilities and contributes to increasing the ISF’s freedom of movement in the region.

Later that day, while taking part in coalition missions in support of Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) ground operations, two CF-188 Hornets successfully struck ISIL positions north of Baiji using precision guided munitions.

Late on Friday night [January 9th 2015], 2 RAF Tornado GR4s, on an armed reconnaissance mission in northern Iraq, were summoned to assist the Kurdish peshmerga. Da’ish terrorists, who have lost a significant amount of territory to the peshmerga recently, were attempting to mount a local attack on a Kurdish unit. The GR4s delivered 4 precision strikes using Paveway IV guided bombs to disrupt the attack.

Le vendredi 9 janvier, opérant dans des conditions météorologiques difficiles, une patrouille de reconnaissance armée a détruit deux positions de combat de Daech dans la région de Mossoul, au Nord de l’Irak.

On the evening of Thursday 8 January, a Reaper remotely piloted air system (RPAS) worked in close conjunction with other coalition aircraft to provide air support to Iraqi troops in Anbar province, western Iraq. The RAF Reaper provided targeting assistance to the fast jets in strikes against ISIL positions, and conducted a successful attack using its own Hellfire missiles.
