APPRÉCIATION DE SITUATION

Point de situation des opérations au 13 avril 2017

En Syrie, les Forces Démocratiques Syriennes (FDS) ont poursuivi leurs actions offensives le long de l’Euphrate dans la région de Tabqah. Elles ont réussi à isoler la ville par une manœuvre d’encerclement au Nord et au Sud. Daech poursuit ses attaques de harcèlement depuis la ville et depuis le secteur d’As Safsafah dans l’objectif de rompre le dispositif des combattants soutenus par la coalition.

En Irak, Daech maintient sa campagne d’actions asymétriques dans les régions de l’Anbar, de Hawijah et de Diyala sous forme d’actions de harcèlement et d’attentats terroristes. Le groupe terroriste a par ailleurs mené des attaques sur les zones frontalières avec la Syrie pour tenter de détourner les forces irakiennes de leurs actions offensives. Le 8 avril, des terroristes, bénéficiant de plusieurs de véhicules suicides, ont conduit une attaque complexe du poste d’Al Tanf et ont tenté de s’emparer de la garnison irakienne. Leur action a été mise en échec.

Dans la région de Mossoul, la situation évolue peu. Avec une ligne de contact située sur le contour de la Medina, l’ICTS est parvenue à poursuivre sa progression, mais les avancées sont rendues complexes par la configuration des lieux et les actions de harcèlement conduites par les combattants de Daech. En parallèle, le groupe terroriste conduit des attaques mortiers sur les secteurs libérés à l’est du Tigre pour tenter de maintenir un climat d’insécurité.

ACTIVITÉS DE LA FORCE CHAMMAL

Cette semaine, les actions du pilier appui ont été perturbées par une météo très défavorable, gênant les capacités de la coalition à fournir des appuis au sol.

Appui feu – TF Wagram

La Task Force (TF) Wagram a poursuivi cette semaine ses missions de tir en appui de la 9e division irakienne engagée dans la région de Badush.

Elle a réalisé 58 missions de tir en appui des unités irakiennes et concentré son action sur la défense des positions de la division au Nord-Ouest de la ville de Mossoul et le harcèlement des combattants de Daech préparant des contre-offensives tactiques.

Appui aérien au Levant

Cette semaine, les aéronefs de l’opération Chammal ont réalisé 27 sorties aériennes dont 20 de reconnaissance armée ou d’appui au sol (CAS), 1 de commandement et de contrôle aérien, et 6 de recueil de renseignements.

4 frappes ont été réalisées par les avions français en Irak, toutes en appui d’unités irakiennes engagées contre les combattants de Daech dans les régions de Mossoul, de Baïji et d’Al-Qaïm.

Le mercredi 12 avril, un ravitailleur C-135 FR du groupe de ravitaillement en vol 02.091 « Bretagne » a rejoint le Golfe arabo-persique. Il vient ainsi compléter le dispositif aérien engagé dans l’appui aux forces irakiennes luttant contre le groupe terroriste Daech.

Wednesday 12 April – Typhoons eliminated a Daesh sniper team in western Mosul…

The RAF is continuing to support Iraqi forces in their effort to liberate western Mosul. While the operating environment in the city is very challenging, particularly given the closely-packed buildings, very narrow streets, and the density of the urban population, our aircrew have continued to deliver precision strikes in close support of Iraqi troops on the ground. Daesh’s current tactics, including the illegal use of civilians as human shields, and fighting from sites such as schools, hospitals, religious sites and civilian neighbourhoods, increases the risk to innocent life. While no military operations come without risk, particularly in dense urban environments and against such inhuman Daesh tactics, the RAF continues to take all steps necessary to minimise civilian causalities.

Royal Air Force aircraft have continued to provide intensive air support to both the Syrian Democratic Forces advancing on Raqqa and to the Iraqi troops fighting to clear Daesh from western Mosul. On Wednesday 12 April, two Typhoons came to the assistance of Iraqi troops when they came under fire from a sniper team in Mosul. A single Paveway IV guided bomb successfully dealt with the threat.

Following a reconnaissance flight from the Atlantic 2, Rafales from the airforce and navy led a strike on April 2nd against an ISIL factory for the production of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and the assembly of suicide vehicles loaded with explosives in the Al Qaim region of Iraq. Ten SCALP cruise missiles were used supplemented by GPS-guided bomb strikes by coalition aircraft.

Mise à jour : 12/04/2017

Mis en place le 31 mars, les Rafale du « plot mixte » ont conduit, dès le 02 avril 2017, une mission opérationnelle complète et importante. A la suite d’un vol de reconnaissance de l’Atlantique 2, les Rafale « Air » et « Marine », ont mené une frappe et réalisé les observations post-raid contre une unité d’assemblage de Daech de véhicules piégés et d’engins explosifs.

Le 02 avril, le vol de reconnaissance et de renseignement de l’Atlantique 2 confirme, dans un premier temps, l’objectif désigné: une importante usine située dans la région d’Al Qaim destinée à la production d’engins explosifs improvisés (EEI) et à l’assemblage des véhicules suicides chargés d’explosifs. Engins dont Daech fait un usage intensif, permettant de ralentir la progression des forces irakiennes au sol, en piégeant les bâtiments où les routes.

Sur la base des derniers renseignements fournis par l’Atlantique 2, six Rafale de l’armée de l’air (provenant des bases aériennes du théâtre situées en Jordanie et aux Emirats arabes unis) conduisent une frappe coordonnée de 10 missiles de croisière SCALP (« Système de croisière conventionnel autonome à longue portée ») sur l’objectif, complétée par des frappes de bombes à guidage GPS, réalisées par des aéronefs de la coalition.

Une patrouille composée de Rafale « Marine », alors en mission de reconnaissance armée et d’appui au sol, est envoyée sur la zone des frappes afin d’y conduire les observations post-raid.

Une fois analysées par les états-majors, les images prises par les Rafales « Marine » ont permis de confirmer la réussite de cette importante mission opérationnelle de la coalition et qui aura sollicité les moyens français récemment arrivés sur le théâtre.

Lancée depuis le 19 septembre 2014, l’opération Chammal représente la participation française à l’OIR (Operation Inherent Resolve) et mobilise aujourd’hui près de 1 200 militaires. A la demande du gouvernement irakien et en coordination avec les alliés de la France présents dans la région, l’opération Chammal repose sur deux piliers complémentaires : un pilier « formation », au profit d’unités de sécurité nationales irakiennes et un pilier « appui », consistant à soutenir l’action des forces locales engagées au sol contre Daesh au travers de la Task Force Wagram et à frapper les capacités militaires du groupe terroriste à l’aide du système d’armes RAFALE.
