Chammal : point de situation au levant

Cette semaine, la situation militaire a été marquée par une accélération de la progression des forces de sécurité irakiennes (FSI) dans le secteur de Qayyarah. A moins de 75 kilomètres de Mossoul, elles ont établi la jonction entre les rives Ouest et Est du Tigre le 15 juillet. Daech, affaibli par ces combats et les frappes aériennes, continue sa logique de repli pour consolider ses lignes de défense autour de Mossoul.

En parallèle la coalition a intensifié ses frappes sur les régions d’Haditha et de Tal Afar, véritables nœuds logistiques du dispositif de Daech.

En Syrie, dans la région de Deir Ez Zor et à l’Est de Palmyre, Daech continue à perdre du terrain. A Manbij, la situation a peu évolué cette semaine, la progression des forces aux sol étant ralentie par un terrain truffé d’engins explosifs installés par l’organisation terroriste.

Activités de la force Chammal

La force Chammal poursuit la campagne aérienne et les missions de formation et de conseil.

Du 13 au 19 juillet 2016, les aéronefs de l’opération Chammal ont poursuivi leurs missions aériennes contre Daech, en réalisant 40 sorties dont 38 de bombardement et 2 de recueil de renseignement.

Elles ont permis la réalisation de 6 frappes, aboutissant à la destruction de 11 objectifs de Daech.

3 frappes d’appui au sol ont été réalisées en Irak au cours de la semaine à Sinjar et Ramadi.

3 frappes planifiées ont été conduites en Irak.

Chammal : appui de l’offensive sur Mossoul

Les 17 et 18 juillet, trois frappes planifiées ont été réalisées pour appuyer l’offensive des forces de sécurité irakiennes pour reprendre Mossoul, en frappant les lieux à partir desquels s’organise la défense de Daech.

Le 17 juillet, deux Mirage 2000D ont détruit un important quartier général de Daech dans la région de Mossoul, servant également de caserne et de lieu de stockage de munitions.

Le 18 juillet, toujours à Mossoul, un autre raid de deux Mirage 2000D et deux Mirage 2000N a pris pour cible un complexe de plusieurs bâtiments abritant un poste de commandement, un centre d’entraînement au combat urbain, et un entrepôt de véhicules suicide. Dans le même temps, à Tall Afar, deux Rafale ont détruit un site de plusieurs bâtiments servant de centre d’entraînement.

Mission Update Nr. 5

Opdatering fra de danske styrker indsat i Operation Inherent Resolve.

21-07-2016 – kl. 14:00

Af Værnsfælles Forsvarskommando

Kampflybidraget

De operationer, som de danske F-16-fly deltaget i i den forgangne uge, har fundet sted over de irakiske provinser Al Anbar, Salah Ad Din, Erbil og Ninawa. Missionerne har omfattet angreb på bygninger, som husede fjender, nedkæmpelse af et køretøj, der transporterede våben, nedkæmpelse af en position, hvorfra der blev afskudt raketter samt angreb på fjender i åbent terræn.

På grund af urolighederne i Tyrkiet henover weekenden har operationerne ved Incirlik-flybasen været standset i en kortere periode. Operationerne blev genoptaget mandag. De udsendte danskere på basen har det fint og er ved godt mod.

Til og med onsdag den 20. juli kl. 12 er følgende gældende:

Antal fløjne missioner i den forgangne uge: 5

Antal anvendte præcisionsbomber i den forgangne uge: 7

Antal fløjne missioner totalt: 46

Antal anvendte præcisionsbomber totalt: 52

Radarbidraget

I løbet af den forgangne uge har TPS77-radaren kørt uden vanskeligheder, og der er leveret input til koalitionens samlede luftovervågningsbillede.

Træningsbidraget

I denne uge har DANCON afsluttet træning og uddannelse af ca. 300 betjente fra det irakiske grænsepoliti. Træningen er de seneste fire uger blevet gennemført på Al Asad Air Base, hvor de danske soldater i DANCON OIR Hold 3 har gennemført et intensivt forløb med fokus på blandt andet skarpskydning, forhold overfor improviserede sprængladninger (IED) og etablering af stationære og mobile checkpoints.

Afslutningen af træningsforløbet blev markeret med en parade og overrækkelse af kursusbeviser onsdag, og de irakiske grænsebetjente er nu klar til indsættelse i kampen mod ISIL ved Iraks grænse.

– Vi er den eneste nation i koalitionen, som gennemfører træningsforløb for det irakiske grænsepoliti, og det er gået over al forventning. Trods et stramt og intensivt program har betjentene været meget engagerede under træningen, som hver dag er blevet indledt tidligt om morgenen på grund af varmen hernede, siger oberstløjtnant Kenneth Strøm, der er chef for DANCON hold 3.

Godt halvdelen af de ca. 300 betjente er kurdiske yazidier; en befolkningsgruppe, der har lidt særligt meget under ISIL’s overgreb.

– Mange af betjentene er fordrevet fra byer i det nordlige Irak, og mange har oplevet store personlige ofre som følge af ISIL’s hærgen. Om det har været en motiverende faktor for betjentenes engagement i undervisningen, skal jeg ikke kunne udelukke, men deres gåpåmod har været helt fantastisk, siger

Kenneth Strøm, og fortsætter:

– Da jeg i en pause talte med nogle af dem, fortalte de om, hvordan de drømte om et fredeligt Irak. De her betjente er sammen med resten af de irakiske sikkerhedsstyrker én af nøglerne til, at den drøm kan gå i opfyldelse. At grænsebetjentene også har været taknemmelige for vores træningsindsats, oplevede vi tydeligt under ceremonien, hvor deres bataljonschef takkede mange gange for den danske indsats. Bedst af alt var det dog at se de irakiske betjentes taknemmelighed, da de takkede trænerne samtidig med, at de fik udleveret deres uddannelsescertifikat. Det var et mindeværdigt øjeblik.

Tilstede ved paraden var også chefen for 7. irakiske division; en enhed som de danske soldater også har trænet og som i mandags angreb og generobrede endnu en by i nærheden af Al Asad Air Base.

Samlet set har de 301 betjente modtaget 3.949 individuelle uddannelser i militære færdigheder, som efterfølgende sætter dem i stand til at beskytte den irakiske grænse.

Transportflybidraget

C-130 bidraget har siden 14. juli fløjet fire ud af fire planlagte missioner. Bidraget oplever i stigende grad at blive indsat til transport i operationsområdet og dermed støtte den overordnede kamp mod ISIL ved at fragte gods til en række enheder.

Tuesday 19 July – Tornados and Typhoons hit mortar positions in northern Iraq…On Tuesday 19 July, Tornado GR4s used a Paveway IV against a mortar position near Qayyarah, while Typhoons employed a Paveway bomb to attack another mortar position south-east of Mosul.

On July 19, coalition military forces continued to attack ISIL terrorists in Syria and Iraq. In Syria, coalition military forces conducted three strikes using bomber and fighter aircraft against ISIL targets. Additionally in Iraq, coalition military forces conducted 13 strikes coordinated with and in support of the Government of Iraq using rocket artillery and attack, fighter, and remotely piloted aircraft against ISIL targets. The following is a summary of the strikes conducted against ISIL since the last press release:

Syria

* Near Manbij, three strikes struck three separate ISIL tactical units and destroyed nine ISIL fighting positions, an ISIL command and control node, and 12 ISIL vehicles.

Iraq

* Near Al Baghdadi, one strike destroyed three ISIL weapons caches.

* Near Hit, one strike struck an ISIL tactical unit and destroyed an ISIL vehicle.

On July 18, coalition military forces continued to attack ISIL terrorists in Syria and Iraq. In Syria, coalition military forces conducted 21 strikes using bomber, attack, fighter, and remotely piloted aircraft against ISIL targets. Additionally in Iraq, coalition military forces conducted 10 strikes coordinated with and in support of the Government of Iraq using rocket artillery and attack, fighter, and remotely piloted aircraft against ISIL targets. The following is a summary of the strikes conducted against ISIL since the last press release:

Syria

* Near Dayr Az Zawr, one strike destroyed an ISIL crane and an ISIL front-end loader.

* Near Manbij, 18 strikes struck 15 separate ISIL tactical units and destroyed 13 ISIL fighting positions, an ISIL heavy machine gun, an ISIL mortar system, seven ISIL vehicles, two ISIL vehicle borne improvised explosive devices, an ISIL staging area, and an ISIL tactical vehicle.

* Near Mar’a, two strikes struck two separate ISIL tactical units and destroyed four ISIL fighting positions.



Iraq

* Near Qayyarah, two strikes destroyed an ISIL headquarters and an ISIL training camp.

* Near Tal Afar, one strike [1 French] struck an ISIL headquarters.

The Syrian Arab Coalition captured a Da’esh headquarters July 17 in western Manbij, Syria.

The Da’esh headquarters, located in a hospital, was being used as a command center and logistics hub. The SAC also seized a significant amount of the city during the operation, which provided civilians the opportunity to escape.

The SAC continues to fight Da’esh on four fronts within the city of Manbij, carefully clearing territory toward the city center while ensuring the safety of any civilians who still remain.

Da’esh continues to fight hard within the center of Manbij and has mounted local counterattacks against SAC forces, but the SAC is maintaining their momentum with support from Coalition strikes.

Since the operation began, the Coalition has conducted more than 450 strikes near Manbij. These airstrikes destroyed Da’esh heavy weapons, vehicles, fortifications, vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices, VBIED facilities, armored vehicles, technical vehicles, bridges, and caches. The destruction of these Da’esh assets disrupts their operations and make them vulnerable here and on the Mar’a line.

The Coalition-supported Syrian moderate opposition efforts in Manbij continue to weaken Da’esh’s threat to Turkey, Europe, and the United States.

Monday 18 July – Typhoons struck a group of terrorist targets in western Iraq…The next day [18 July], again in Anbar Province, Typhoons observed terrorist activity around a tent hidden in a dense palm grove. An attack with a Paveway IV not only struck the terrorists but also set fire to two stockpiles of ammunition and equipment and damaged a Daesh truck parked nearby, again under the trees.

Chammal : Frappes planifiées en Irak pour les avions Français.

Mise à jour : 19/07/2016 18:57

Les 17 et 18 juillet, trois frappes planifiées ont été réalisées dans le Nord de l’Irak par des avions de chasse français dans le cadre de la coalition Operation Inherent Resolve. Ces frappes font partie de l’effort visant à appuyer l’offensive des forces de sécurité irakiennes pour reprendre Mossoul, en frappant les lieux à partir desquels s’organise la défense de Daech. Les appareils basés au Levant et dans le golfe arabo-persique ont frappé à Mossoul et Tall Afar des sites servant à commander, entraîner et équiper les combattants de Daech.

Le 17 juillet dans la région de Mossoul, deux Mirage 2000D ont détruit un important quartier général de Daech, servant également de caserne et de lieu de stockage de munitions. Le 18 juillet, toujours à Mossoul, un nouveau raid de deux Mirage 2000D et deux Mirage 2000N a pris pour cible un complexe de plusieurs bâtiments abritant un poste de commandement, un centre d’entraînement au combat urbain, et un entrepôt de véhicules suicide. Dans le même, à Tall Afar, deux Rafales ont détruit un site de plusieurs bâtiments servant de centre d’entraînement.

Lancée depuis le 19 septembre 2014, l’opération Chammal mobilise actuellement 1000 militaires. Elle 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 en Irak et en Syrie dans la lutte contre le groupe terroriste autoproclamé Daech, en frappant l’organisation terroriste avec ses moyens aériens. Le dispositif complet est actuellement structuré autour de quatorze avions de chasse de l’armée de l’Air (six Rafale, cinq Mirage 2000D et trois Mirage 2000N) d’un avion de patrouille maritime Atlantique2 de la Marine nationale ainsi que de capacités de renseignement, de commandement, de contrôle (C2) et de ravitaillement. Il comprend également une centaine de militaires en charge de la formation et du conseil des états-majors et unités irakiennes.

Chammal : 10 000 heures de vol en opération pour les Mirage 2000 basés en Jordanie

Mise à jour : 19/07/2016 17:36

Le 15 juillet 2016, les Mirage 2000 stationnés sur la Base aérienne projetée (BAP) en Jordanie ont franchi le cap des 10 000 heures de vol, réalisées dans le cadre de l’opération Chammal. Dix-sept mois plus tôt, le 12 décembre 2014, une patrouille de Mirage 2000D réalisait sa première mission aérienne à partir de la BAP.

Le cap des 10 000 heures de vol a été franchi lors de la deuxième patrouille de la journée du 15 juillet 2016. Un Mirage 2000D et un Mirage 2000N armés se sont rendus dans la région de Sinjar, au nord de l’Irak, pour y réaliser une mission d’appui au sol (Close Air Support) au profit des Peshmergas. Les Peshmergas ayant été pris sous le feu de combattants de Daech, les avions sont intervenus contre des positions de mortiers du groupe terroriste afin de permettre aux troupes kurdes de reprendre leur progression.

Le cap des 10 000 heures de vol est emblématique pour la base aérienne projetée en Jordanie, car il illustre les efforts permanents d’un plot tactique réduit, mais qui frappe de façon permanente Daech en Irak et en Syrie.

Depuis le 12 décembre 2014, 2 300 missions nécessitant près de 6 000 ravitaillements en vol ont été réalisées contre le groupe terroriste Daech. Deux types de missions sont réalisés quotidiennement, nuit et jour, par les Mirage 2000 stationnés en Jordanie :

Des frappes qui sont réalisées dans le cadre de missions d’appui des troupes au sol. Il s’agit de frappes d’opportunité, destinées à aider les forces irakiennes et les Peshmergas engagés dans les combats contre Daech et permettant d’exercer une pression sur l’adversaire. Dans les zones les plus sensibles, ce soutien est quasi permanent, afin de garantir aux combattants au sol une aide pour lutter contre un point de résistance ou de se dégager d’une difficulté, à tout moment.

Des frappes planifiées qui ciblent quant à elles les infrastructures clés de Daech comme les centres de commandement ou de transmissions, les dépôts de munitions, les casernements, les camps d’entrainement et les sites de fabrication d’armement et de véhicules piégés. Elles nécessitent un important travail préalable de renseignement destiné à alimenter le processus de ciblage.

Lancée depuis le 19 septembre 2014, l’opération Chammal mobilise actuellement 1000 militaires. Elle 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 en Irak et en Syrie dans la lutte contre le groupe terroriste autoproclamé Daech, en frappant l’organisation terroriste avec ses moyens aériens.

Le 18 juillet, toujours à Mossoul, un nouveau raid de deux Mirage 2000D et deux Mirage 2000N a pris pour cible un complexe de plusieurs bâtiments abritant un poste de commandement, un centre d’entraînement au combat urbain, et un entrepôt de véhicules suicide. Dans le même, à Tall Afar, deux Rafales ont détruit un site de plusieurs bâtiments servant de centre d’entraînement.

Lancée depuis le 19 septembre 2014, l’opération Chammal mobilise actuellement 1000 militaires. Elle 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 en Irak et en Syrie dans la lutte contre le groupe terroriste autoproclamé Daech, en frappant l’organisation terroriste avec ses moyens aériens. Le dispositif complet est actuellement structuré autour de quatorze avions de chasse de l’armée de l’Air (six Rafale, cinq Mirage 2000D et trois Mirage 2000N) d’un avion de patrouille maritime Atlantique2 de la Marine nationale ainsi que de capacités de renseignement, de commandement, de contrôle (C2) et de ravitaillement. Il comprend également une centaine de militaires en charge de la formation et du conseil des états-majors et unités irakiennes.

Les 17 et 18 juillet, trois frappes planifiées ont été réalisées pour appuyer l’offensive des forces de sécurité irakiennes pour reprendre Mossoul, en frappant les lieux à partir desquels s’organise la défense de Daech.
