Dans la nuit du 15 au 16 octobre 2016, trois Rafale de l’armée de l’air et quatre Rafale de la marine nationale, ont conduit une frappe planifiée de plusieurs missiles SCALP sur un entrepôt de fabrications d’IED (improvised explosive devices – engins explosifs improvisés) dans la région de Mossoul.

Les sept avions de chasse armés de missiles de croisière SCALP, ont frappé lors d’un raid aérien conjoint un entrepôt de fabrications d’IED situé à une trentaine de kilomètres au sud de Mossoul. Huit missiles de croisière SCALP ont touché et détruit ce centre situé au cœur du territoire contrôlé par le groupe terroriste. Un Hawkeye de la Marine nationale participait à la mission afin d’en assurer le contrôle en vol.

Il s’agit de la première mission de frappe dans la profondeur réalisée conjointement par les Rafale de l’armée de l’air, déployés sur la base aérienne projetée en Jordanie, et ceux de la marine nationale opérant à partir du porte-avions Charles-de-Gaulle. Le rôle de chef de mission était tenu par un équipage de l’armée de l’Air qui s’est chargé de préparer et coordonner la mission à distance.

Cette action intervient après des semaines de frappes des aéronefs français, dans le cadre de la coalition internationale, en soutien direct aux opérations terrestres des forces irakiennes et kurdes près de Mossoul en Irak. Ces frappes ont permis aux forces appuyées de prolonger les succès tactiques obtenus au mois d’août et de préparer l’offensive vers Mossoul.

On Oct. 17, Lt. Gen. Stephen Townsend, commander of Combined Joint Task Force Operation Inherent Resolve, made the following statement regarding the start of the Iraqi offensive to liberate Mosul:

“Earlier today, Iraqi Security Forces launched their counter-attack to liberate Mosul from ISIL, also known as Da’esh. This operation to regain control of Iraq’s second-largest city will likely continue for weeks, possibly longer. Iraq is supported by a wide range of coalition capabilities, including air support, artillery, intelligence, advisors and forward air controllers. But to be clear, the thousands of ground combat forces who will liberate Mosul are all Iraqis.

“This liberation battle comes after more than two years of Da’esh oppression in Mosul, during which they committed horrible atrocities, brutalized the people and asserted the city was one of their twin capitals. ISIL’s cruelty and reach has shown that they are not just a threat in Iraq and Syria, but to the region and the entire world.

“Over the course of these past two years, a coalition of more than 60 nations has united to defeat ISIL. We have conducted tens of thousands of precision strikes to support Iraqi operations, trained and equipped more than 54,000 Iraqi forces, and supported our Iraqi partners as they fought to liberate their country.

“As we provide our support, we will continue to use precision to accurately attack the enemy and to minimize any impact on innocent civilians. We can’t predict how long it will take for the Iraqi Security Forces to defeat Da’esh in Mosul; but we know they will succeed-just as they did in Bayji, in Ramadi, in Fallujah and, more recently in Qayyarah and Sharqat.

“This may prove to be a long and tough battle, but the Iraqis have prepared for it and we will stand by them. The Iraqi Security Forces and the Coalition are not only fighting for the future of Iraq, we are fighting to ensure the security of all of our nations. We salute the bravery and commitment of the Iraqi Security Forces to this mission and wish them good luck and God’s blessings in this battle.”
