Wednesday 19 October – Typhoons and a Reaper provided close air support around Mosul, engaging six targets, including a large truck-bomb being driven towards an Iraqi unit…Coalition aircraft have continued intensive air operations to support the Iraqi offensive to liberate Mosul, with the Royal Air Force playing a significant role.

On Wednesday 19 October, a Reaper scouted ahead of Iraqi troops advancing to the south-east of the city. A terrorist rocket-propelled grenade team were identified and eliminated using a Hellfire missile. The Reaper then provided surveillance support to two successful attacks by coalition fast jets on larger groups of terrorists, before conducting a further Hellfire attack itself. The aircraft’s surveillance sensors then spotted a large armoured truck-bomb emerging from cover and being driven at speed towards an Iraqi unit. An immediate attack with a Hellfire missile struck the vehicle, which crashed out of control, and the would-be suicide bomber abandoned the truck and fled. Another group of terrorists were later identified and attacked with a fourth Hellfire. Meanwhile, to the north of Mosul, Paveway IV-armed Typhoons destroyed two Daesh-held buildings.

APPRECIATION DE SITUATION

chammal air

Sur le théâtre du Levant, la semaine a été marquée par le déclenchement de la bataille de Mossoul. Les forces irakiennes ont réussi à percer les premières lignes de défense. Face à elles les combattants de Daech, ayant profité de ces dernières semaines pour consolider leurs positions défensives, mettent tout en œuvre pour essayer de bloquer les accès à la ville.

En Irak, les premières journées de la bataille de Mossoul se sont déroulées conformément au plan de la coalition Inherent Resolve. Les unités engagées ont progressé de plusieurs dizaines de kilomètres depuis le début de la semaine, mais font face à une défense très organisée et à un piégeage systématique de leurs axes de progression. Pour essayer de conserver un ascendant médiatique et masquer ces revers militaires, Daech a mené une série d’attentats et d’actions suicides. Plusieurs attaques terroristes ont été perpétrées à Bagdad et dans la région de Rutbah dans l’Anbar.

En Syrie, la perte par Daech du village de Dabiq est symbolique mais constitue un nouveau revers pour l’organisation terroriste qui continue à reculer vers la ville de Al-Bab.

ACTIVITES DE LA FORCE CHAMMAL

Sur l’ensemble du théâtre, le rythme des opérations s’est accru depuis le déclenchement de l’offensive de Mossoul par l’armée irakienne. Ce déclenchement est l’aboutissement du travail préparatoire réalisé par les aéronefs de la coalition.

Les aéronefs de l’opération Chammal poursuivent leurs missions. Les opérations aériennes de la coalition se sont logiquement intensifiées depuis le 17 octobre. Les demandes d’appui des unités engagées dans les combats au sol ont généré une augmentation des frappes conduites par les aéronefs français. Ainsi, les 17 et 18 octobre, 10 frappes ont été conduites par les aéronefs français, aboutissant à la destruction de 13 objectifs.

1. Appui aérien

Les avions de l’opération Chammal ont maintenu leur activité en appui de la coalition :

– 9 vols d’ISR ont été conduits par des Rafale ou par l’ATL2 tandis que les avions de commandement et de contrôle de l’espace aérien ont réalisé 3 missions (5 sorties E2C Hawekeye et 2 sorties E-3F Awacs). 3 missions de ravitaillement ont été conduites par le C 135-Fr.

– 53 sorties de reconnaissances armées ont été réalisée par les Rafale, permettant ainsi la réalisation de 15 frappes et la destruction de 21 objectifs.

Une frappe planifiée a également été conduite dans la nuit du 15 au 16 octobre 2016. Elle s’inscrivait dans la phase finale de préparation de l’offensive de Mossoul. Trois Rafale de l’armée de l’air et quatre Rafale de la marine nationale ont frappé avec plusieurs missiles SCALP un entrepôt de fabrications d’IED (improvised explosive devices – engins explosifs improvisés) dans la région de Mossoul.

2. Appui feu – TF Wagram

Au sein de la coalition, la TF Wagram a poursuivi ses actions à partir de la base opérationnelle avancée de Q-West, appuyant les troupes irakiennes engagées dans la bataille de Mossoul près de 30 kilomètres plus au Nord.

Cette semaine, elle a mené 12 missions de tirs, principalement des missions d’interdiction pour empêcher Daech d’occuper des positions favorables ou pour entraver sa progression.

Chammal : déjà 100h de vol pour l’E3F

Mise à jour : 18/10/2016 14:44

Depuis le 13 septembre 2016, date de son arrivée à Al Udeid (Qatar), l’E3F, avion de détection et de contrôle, a franchi le cap des 100 h de vol. Il est ainsi venu à mi-mandat, renforcer la présence des forces française au Levant dans le cadre de l’opération Chammal/Inherent Resolve.

Ses missions, centrées sur le C2 (Command and Control – commandement et contrôle), comprennent le contrôle des aéronefs de la coalition qui effectuent des frappes, notamment dans le cadre de la préparation de la reconquête de Mossoul en Irak. L’E3F est également très présent dans l’appui aux troupes amies en Irak et en Syrie, dans le contrôle des moyens aériens en soutien (avions ravitailleurs, de guerre électronique et de renseignement) et dans la gestion des espaces aériens de travail (y compris avec des opérateurs de drones localisés aux Etats-Unis). Il est aussi impliqué dans la surveillance de l’activité des aéronefs n’appartenant pas à la coalition.

Parallèlement, dans le contexte syrien de la bataille d’Alep, les capacités de l’E3F participent à l’autonomie de la France en matière d’appréciation de la situation et de décision grâce à la richesse des informations transmises vers les autorités nationales.

Depuis leur mise en service dans les forces, les E3F de la base aérienne 702 d’Avord sont systématiquement engagés dans les opérations extérieures (ex-Yougoslavie, Kosovo, Libye, Mali). Ce type d’aéronef s’inscrit, avec les avions ravitailleurs et ceux de recherche du renseignement, dans la catégorie de ce que les anglo-saxons appellent les High Value Air Assets (HVAA – atouts aériens à haute valeur ajoutée). Ils sont décisifs à la compréhension et la liberté d’agir du commandant d’une force interarmées.

L’E3F n°201, actuellement engagé dans Chammal, va ainsi passer la barre des 15 000 heures de vol effectuées sur les théâtres d’opérations extérieures, mais également au-dessus de la France, dans le cadre des mesures permanentes de protection de l’espace aérien national.

Lancée depuis le 19 septembre 2014, l’opération Chammal mobilise plus de 4 000 militaires. Elle vise, à la demande du gouvernement irakien et en coordination avec les alliés de la France présents dans la région, à assurer d’une part la formation d’unités de sécurité nationale et d’autre part des actions offensives en Irak et en Syrie dans la lutte contre le groupe terroriste autoproclamé Daech.

Depuis la mi-septembre, un nouvel équipage d’avion de patrouille maritime Atlantique 2 (ATL2) a rejoint la force Chammal. Depuis février 2016, un Atlantique 2 opère de façon quasi permanente au profit de la coalition et aux côtés des chasseurs de la force Chammal. Régulièrement, les relèves d’avion et d’équipages se succèdent pour optimiser le potentiel de chaque appareil et du personnel.

2016_AJOD_444_001_026

Quelques heures après son arrivée sur le théâtre d’opérations, l’équipage était déjà en vol au-dessus de l’Irak. Deux heures du matin sur le parking avion, une dizaine de mécaniciens achèvent les derniers préparatifs de l’appareil. La veille le personnel naviguant, une quinzaine de marins, a terminé la préparation de la mission : plan de vol, liste des sites et zones à observer, terrains de déroutement. À sept heures du matin, tout est prêt. L’avion décolle aussitôt pour plusieurs heures de mission au-dessus de l’Irak.

L’ATL2, déjà engagé par le passé dans les opérations Harmattan en Libye et Serval au Mali, est rompu aux opérations de recherche par l’observation, le recueil d’images dans la profondeur et les écoutes. La recherche de l’adversaire dans le désert présente en effet de nombreuses similitudes avec la surveillance maritime.

L’avion de patrouille maritime dispose d’une grande endurance de vol et d’un large panel d’équipement : caméra et photographie de jour comme de nuit, système de veille électronique et électromagnétique. Ces instruments sont mis en œuvre par un équipage composé de diverses spécialités. Equipage capable d’analyser et de diffuser en temps réel renseignement et évaluation d’une situation tactique, ou même le résultat d’une action de feu. Ponctuellement, l’ATL2 peut participer aux frappes contre Daech grâce à une capacité d’emport de bombes guidées laser de type GBU 12.

Lancée depuis le 19 septembre 2014, l’opération Chammal est le volet français de l’opération OIR et mobilise aujourd’hui près de 4 000 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 Daech et à frapper les capacités militaires de Daech. A ce jour, le dispositif complet de l’opération Chammal est structuré autour de trente-six Rafale (douze de l’armée de l’Air et vingt-quatre de la Marine nationale), d’un détachement d’artillerie CAESAR (Camion équipé d’un système d’artillerie), des bâtiments du groupe aéronaval, d’un avion de détection et de contrôle aéroportés E3F, d’un avion de ravitaillement C-135 FR, de deux avions E-2C Hawkeye et d’un avion de patrouille maritime Atlantique 2. Il comprend également une centaine de militaires projetés à Bagdad et Erbil pour la formation et le conseil des états-majors et unités irakiennes.

Monday 17 October – A Reaper destroyed an armed truck and three terrorist heavy weapons teams south-east of Mosul, while a Typhoon dealt with a large truck bomb to the south…Royal Air Force Typhoons and Reaper remotely piloted aircraft have continued to provide close air support to the Iraqi and Kurdish forces advancing on Mosul, while Tornado, Sentinel and Airseeker aircraft have also been flying reconnaissance missions in support of the operation.

On Monday 17 October, a Reaper kept close watch on Daesh positions near Qaraqosh to the south-east of Mosul. Our aircraft provided surveillance support to a coalition fast jet attack on a terrorist mortar team. The Reaper then conducted attacks using its own weapons on four targets. These attacks included a GBU-12 guided bomb, which accounted for a mortar. Hellfire missiles also destroyed an armed truck and two heavy weapons teams, including one armed with a recoilless anti-tank gun which had opened fire on the advancing Iraqis. To the south of the city, a Typhoon flight was able to use a Paveway IV guided bomb to dispose safely of a large truck-bomb before it could be used.
