Chammal: Point de situation au 30 avril 2015:

Cette semaine, la force Chammal a procédé à 22 sorties aériennes dont 7 ont abouti à des frappes d’opportunité dans les régions de Baïji, Ramadi et Sinjar/Mossoul. 13 objectifs ont été neutralisés.

Actuellement, l’avancée des forces de Daech est contenue en Irak, mais ces dernières conservent une liberté d’action. Elles restent capables de mener des actions de combat violentes contre les forces de sécurités intérieures. L’opération Chammal a pour vocation d’apporter un appui aérien, dans le cadre de la reconquête du territoire iraquien, et plus précisément en ce moment dans les régions de Baïji et Ramadi. Ces opérations sont complexes et s’inscrivent dans le temps long.

Lancée depuis le 19 septembre 2014, l’opération Chammal mobilise 3 200 militaires. Elle vise, à la demande du gouvernement irakien et en coordination avec les alliées de la France présents dans la région, à assurer un soutien aérien aux forces irakiennes dans la lutte contre le groupe terroriste autoproclamé Daech. Le dispositif complet est actuellement structuré autour de douze avions de chasse de l’armée de l’Air (six Rafale et six Mirage 2000D), d’un avion de contrôle aérien E3F, d’un avion de patrouille maritime Atlantique 2, et du groupe aéronaval et de son groupe aérien embarqué (douze Rafale Marine, neuf Super Etendard modernisés et un Hawkeye).
