CHAMMAL

APPRECIATION DE SITUATION

Sur l’ensemble du théâtre du Levant, la pression continue d’augmenter sur les dernières grandes emprises de Daech. Peu à peu affaiblie par les avancées militaires, l’organisation fait face à une augmentation du nombre de défections dans ses rangs et adapte ses modes d’action à la situation : elle multiplie les attentats et les actions de harcèlement, notamment dans l’Anbar et à Bagdad, pour fixer les troupes et gêner la poursuite de la libération progressive du territoire.

ACTIVITES DE LA FORCE CHAMMAL

Sur l’ensemble du théâtre, la préparation des opérations futures se traduit par une phase de repositionnement ou de consolidation des lignes de défense qui limitent les activités des forces.

Appui : volet aérien

Le groupe aéronaval (GAN) a achevé sa phase de montée en puissance. Il a donc intégré officiellement l’opération Chammal le 30 septembre. Les avions qu’il met en œuvre effectuent, depuis, des missions opérationnelles au sein de la coalition.

Cette semaine, 63 sorties ont été conduites par les avions français de l’opération Chammal au profit de la coalition :

7 vols d’ISR ont été menés par des Rafale ou par l’ATL2 tandis que les avions de commandement et de contrôle de l’espace aérien ont réalisé 6 sorties (E-2C Hawkeye et E-3F Awacs).
50 sorties de reconnaissances armées et de frappes planifiées (CAS/AI) de Rafale ont ainsi permis la réalisation de 15 frappes et la destruction de 19 objectifs.

Appui feu – TF Wagram

La TF Wagram déployée sur la base de Q-West a atteint sa pleine capacité opérationnelle. Elle poursuit ses actions en coordination avec les autres éléments d’artillerie de la coalition et en appui des troupes irakiennes au sol.
terre

Cette semaine, la TF Wagram a concentré son action sur la défense de la base avancée de la coalition et l’appui aux FSI dans la région de Qayyarah :

15 missions visant à entraver la liberté de manœuvre de l’ennemi (ex : séquence de tir pour empêcher la mise en batterie de pièces d’appui de Daech),
6 missions de tirs d’obus éclairants pour favoriser les détections par les FSI et gêner les tentatives d’infiltration,
1 mission de destruction de position ennemie (tir de contre batterie contre un emplacement de mortier de Daech).

Les engagements du GAN et de la TF Wagram au sein de l’opération Chammal correspondent à la volonté politique française d’intensification de l’effort contre Daech.

Ces moyens inscrivent leur action dans celle de la coalition. Ils viennent compléter les moyens de l’armée de l’air (avions de chasse, ravitailleurs, E-3F) et de la marine (Atlantique 2 –ATL2) déployés en permanence depuis 2 ans sur zone. Les vols réalisés par le groupe aérien embarqué comme les appuis que viennent fournir les canons Caesar constituent un renforcement significatif de notre pilier appui au sein de l’opération qui permet potentiellement d’intensifier les frappes.

Le pilier appui de l’opération Chammal constitué autour des moyens aériens et d’artillerie est complété par le pilier formation avec les détachements français présents à Bagdad et à Erbil  au sein des TF Narvik et Montsabert au service des forces armées irakiennes.

Wednesday 5 October – Tornados destroyed an armed truck south-east of Mosul, while Typhoons struck terrorist fighters operating north of Taji…Tornados were again in action south of Mosul on Wednesday 5 October, where they bombed an armed truck. In central Iraq, Typhoons attacked a small group of terrorists who had been spotted north of Taji. Working in close concert with a coalition surveillance aircraft, the Typhoons successfully killed the extremists with two Paveway IV attacks.

Syria

* Near Abu Kamal, two strikes destroyed three ISIL oil well heads and an oil pump jack and damaged six supply routes

Af Værnsfælles Forsvarskommando

Operation Inherent Resolve

Kampflybidraget

De danske F-16 har i den seneste uge fløjet 9 missioner, hvor der er gennemført

overvågning, efterretningsindhentning og angreb på et lager med morterer,

morterpositioner, bygninger med ISIL personel og ISIL personel som udlagde

improviserede sprængladninger (IED).

Missionerne er foregået over de irakiske provinser Erbil, Ninawa, At Ta’mim, Dahuk og Salah Ad Din samt de syriske provinser Ar Raqqah, Halab, Hims, Al Hasakah og Dayr Az Zawr.

Fra onsdag den 28. september kl. 12.00 til onsdag den 5. oktober kl. 11.00 er

følgende gældende:

– Der er fløjet 9 missioner

– Der er anvendt 6 præcisionsbomber

– Der er dermed totalt fløjet 166 missioner

– Der er totalt anvendt 231 præcisionsbomber

Træningsbidraget

Træningen af 298 politisoldater og officerer fra det irakiske Boarder Guard Police er netop afsluttet. Træningen af andre enheder gennemføres indtil 17. oktober.

Radarbidraget

Radarbidraget har til stadighed støttet koalitionen i kampen mod ISIL med både

radar- og link billede samt kommando og kontrol af koalitionens fly.

I foregående uge har bidraget i særlig grad været beskæftiget med luftrumskoordinering mellem artilleri samt bemandede og ubemandede fly til støtte for offensive operationer på landjorden, der dog har været udfordret af sandstorme i området. Radaren har været til planlagt eftersyn, der gik uproblematisk og hurtigere end forventet.

Transportbidraget

Ugens missioner er gennemført som transportmissioner af i alt mere end 65 ton gods og 128 passagerer til Tyrkiet og Irak. I september måned har bidraget transporteret 151 personer og 165 ton gods, hvilket er på linje med de første tre måneder af indsættelsen i operationen.

Standard NATO Monitoring Group 2

Forsvarets fleksible støtteskib, ABSALON, har gennemført patrulje i det vestlige

Middelhav i rammen af NATO’s Operation ACTIVE ENDEAVOUR.

ABSALON har forladt Middelhavet ved månedsskiftet for at sejle mod de britiske øer.

ABSALON skal sammen med den canadiske enhed CHARLOTTETOWN, der ligeledes indgår i Standard NATO Monitoring Group 2, deltage i den store øvelse Joint Warrior. Denne øvelse løber af stabelen to gange hvert år, og i dette efterår er det i perioden 10. – 21. oktober.

Forsvaret deltager ofte med enheder af ABSALON-klassen, IVER HUITFELDT-klassen og THETIS-klassen. Øvelsen indeholder en række scenarier, der omfatter både krise og krig.

I øvelsen deltager der skibe, fly samt tropper i land.

Se evt. mere information her:

Efter afslutning på øvelsen returnerer ABSALON til Middelhavet.

Forventet hjemkomst til Danmark er fortsat primo december.

Tuesday 4 October – A Reaper bombed a vehicle dug-in as part of the terrorist defences north of Mosul…On Tuesday 4 October, a Reaper remotely piloted aircraft conducted armed reconnaissance north of Mosul. The Reaper’s crew located a large fuel tanker dug-in as part of the defensive positions constructed by Daesh near Batnay. The tanker was burning oil to create a smoke screen in order to shield Daesh fighters against attacking ground forces. The Reaper scored a direct hit with a GBU-12 guided bomb. The Reaper then provided surveillance support to a coalition air strike against nearby positions.
