Notes

France reports 10 strikes in the past week in Iraq, predominantly in the north of the country. Among the strikes was one planned mission conducted by 4 Rafales on September 18th. Six SCALP missiles destroyed a Daesh training and production center for explosive devices in the Mosul area. The rest of the strikes were in support of ground troops.

SITUATION

Alors qu’en fin de semaine dernière, une accalmie relative régnait sur le plan des opérations en raison des fêtes de l’Aïd et du cessez-le-feu, les récents incidents y ont mis un terme.

La stratégie de la coalition pour mettre en difficulté Daech porte peu à peu ses fruits en parvenant à isoler progressivement l’organisation sur différents plans. Les reprises de Mossoul et de Raqqah demeurent les prochains objectifs militaires.

Dans ce contexte, en Syrie, Daech organise sa défense autour d’Al Bab et effectue un repli vers l’Est.

En Irak, Daech poursuit ses activités de harcèlement dans la région de Qayyarah alors que les forces irakiennes ont repris l’offensive contre les poches de résistances restantes, près de Sharqat notamment.

ACTIVITÉS DE LA FORCE CHAMMAL

Les avions de la coalition ont poursuivi leur action au profit des forces de sécurité irakiennes au sol.

Les 38 sorties ont inclus 3 vols de renseignement, 3 vols de commandement et de conduite aéroportés. Elles ont permis de réaliser 10 frappes aériennes. Ces dernières ont été majoritairement menées dans le nord de l’Irak. Elles s’inscrivent dans une phase de destruction des lignes de défense du groupe terroriste à proximité de la ville de Mossoul.

Parmi les frappes, 1 mission planifiée a été conduite par 4 Rafale le 18 septembre. 6 SCALP ont permis de détruire un centre d’entrainement et de production d’engins explosifs dans la région de Mossoul. Le reste des frappes a concerné des missions d’appui au profit de troupes au sol.

Marquant également la volonté française d’intensifier les efforts contre Daech, en soutien des forces irakiennes, le groupe aéronaval avec le porte-avions Charles de Gaulle est actuellement en mer dans une phase d’entraînement et de montée en puissance avant de rejoindre sa zone d’opérations en Méditerranée orientale. Il permettra de renforcer la capacité de frappes aériennes au sein de l’opération OIR.

Træningsbidraget

Træningsbidraget har i den forløbne uge været involveret i træningen af det irakiske Border Guard Police. Uddannelsen har primært været fokuseret på enkeltmandsfærdigheder, herunder blandt andet våbenbetjening og taktisk sanitetstjeneste for enkeltmand. De irakiske officerer har gennemført samme pensum samt været på et to-dages kursus i kortlære.

Radarbidraget

Radaren har den seneste uge kørt uden afbrydelser. Bidraget støtter fortsat koalitionens kamp mod ISIL omkring de befriede områder vest for Bagdad.

I Mali er højtiden Tabaski (12. til 15. september) forløbet fint, og højtiden er blevet fejret uagtet at sikkerhedssituationen i den nordlige del af Mali er meget spændt. De danske styrkebidrag har løst rutinemæssige opgaver – herunder moniteret fejringen af Tabaski.

The Reaper provided support to two coalition air attacks which destroyed a truck bomb, another terrorist vehicle and a large group of extremists, then used a GBU-12 guided bomb to conduct its own attack on a further group of insurgents spotted in the open. The Reaper’s crew tracked two terrorists as they went to a building and collected a second truck-bomb which was concealed under a carport, then followed the truck-bomb as it was driven away from an inhabited area. As the truck-bomb rendezvoused with another Daesh vehicle, it was struck with a Hellfire missile. Both vehicles were destroyed by the subsequent blast.

Le 13 septembre, un E-3F décollait de la base aérienne 702 près d’Avord (18) pour rejoindre celle d’Al Udeid au Qatar. Deux jours plus tard, cet aéronef de commandement et de conduite aéroportés, plus connu sous le nom d’AWACS, et son équipage, assuraient leur première mission au-dessus de la Syrie et de l’Irak.
e3f-en-vol-1

Pour la sixième fois, un E-3F de la 36ème escadre de commandement et de conduite aéroportés (EC2A) renforce les forces françaises engagées au Levant. La soixantaine d’aviateurs déployés est donc aguerrie à cette lutte menée par la Coalition contre les groupes armés terroristes de Daech.

Deux jours après leur arrivée, équipage et mécaniciens se concentraient déjà sur la réalisation de leur premier vol opérationnel. « A partir d’une zone aérienne couvrant la Syrie et l’Irak, nous avons collaboré avec un AWACS australien pour établir une situation aérienne complète. L’objectif était de fournir au Centre de commandement tactique ( Combined Air Operation Center), par transmissions de données, toutes les détections d’aéronefs identifiés comme amis ou inconnus » explique le lieutenant-colonel Jean-Yves, commandant du détachement.

« Sous la direction d’un commandant de bord et d’un chef de mission, pilotes, navigateurs, contrôleurs et techniciens embarqués ont d’ailleurs vite retrouvé leurs réflexes de spécialiste au cours de ces huit premières heures de vol dans le ciel du Levant», poursuit-il.

Avoir une idée précise des différentes menaces et de toutes les activités aériennes du théâtre au Levant s’avère en effet décisif pour les autorités militaires comme pour les unités aériennes engagées au-dessus du champ de bataille.

L’E-3F offre à la France une autonomie renforcée en termes de commandement, de conduite mais aussi d’appréciation de la situation sur le théâtre grâce à ses nombreux capteurs. Il capte, réoriente en vol les frappes d’appui rapproché et le flux des ravitaillements en vol. Il dispose lui-même d’une endurance accrue, fort de sa capacité de ravitaillement en vol compatible avec de nombreux types d’aéronefs ravitailleurs.

De retour à Al Udeid, la mission continue au sol. Il faut analyser les informations reçues, les exploiter et en déduire de nouvelles méthodes d’action pour l’équipage comme pour l’ensemble des spécialistes qui mettent en œuvre cet « appareil à haute valeur ajoutée » dont l’électronique vient d’être modernisée au tout dernier standard de l’US AIR Force.

Lancée depuis le 19 septembre 2014, l’opération Chammal mobilise actuellement 1 000 militaires. Elle vise, à la demande du gouvernement irakien et en coordination avec les alliés de la France présents dans la région, à renforcer le volet aérien offensif de la Coalition en Irak et en Syrie contre le groupe terroriste autoproclamé Daech.

Le dispositif complet est actuellement structuré autour de douze Rafale de l’armée de l’air, d’un avion de détection et de contrôle aéroporté E-3F, d’un avion de patrouille maritime Atlantique 2 de la marine nationale ainsi que de capacités de renseignement, de commandement et de contrôle (C2). Il comprend également une centaine de militaires projetés à Bagdad et Erbil pour la formation et le conseil des états-majors et unités irakiennes. La frégate de défense aérienne Forbin est engagée dans l’opération Chammal en mer Méditerranée depuis le mois de mai.
