Reports that on Friday, September 2nd, the Rafale, recently deployed to the deployed air base in the Middle East as part of the operation Chammal, bombed Daesh defensive positions in the Mosul area. Weapons and amunitions caches were destroyed.

CHAMMAL : Frappes Rafale contre Daech

Mise à jour : 10/09/2016 12:25

Vendredi 2 septembre, les Rafale, récemment déployés sur la base aérienne projetée au Proche-Orient dans le cadre de l’opération Chammal, ont bombardé des positions défensives de Daech dans la région de Mossoul.

Une patrouille de deux Rafale est en mission d’appui aérien au-dessus de l’Irak, dans le sud de Mossoul, lorsqu’elle est sollicitée pour bombarder plusieurs objectifs à l’ouest la ville. Rejoignant rapidement la zone, les avions reçoivent un ordre du CAOC (Combined Air Operation Center – centre des opérations aériennes) : faire feu sur des objectifs qui ont été préalablement identifiés par les forces irakiennes au sol.

Délivrant des bombes à guidage laser ou à guidage GPS+Laser, les Rafale détruisent peu de temps après, avec une précision métrique, des caches d’armes et de munitions de Daech.
« Après avoir tiré, nous avons vu beaucoup d’explosions secondaires » témoigne un pilote de la patrouille, ce qui confirme la présence d’explosifs dans ces caches.

Une telle opération, compte-tenu de la présence au sol de troupes amies, nécessite en effet un usage précis de la puissance de feu, un délai de réaction rapide et une bonne synchronisation jusqu’aux plus petits échelons tactiques. Cette coordination passe par les drones ou les équipes spécialisées au sol lorsqu’il y en a. Nommés JTAC (Joint Terminal Attack Controller), ces contrôleurs aériens avancés permettent de confirmer l’identification et la localisation des objectifs.

Les pilotes fournissent également des indications aux forces terrestres et aux autorités décisionnaires, grâce à des observations visuelles directes, des capacités de vision grossissante, de leur pod Damoclès et un système embarqué de transmission vidéos.

Ces frappes sont réalisées en amont et en aval d’autres frappes de la coalition, le même jour, sur des objectifs similaires et adjacents. Elles portent ainsi de puissants coups contre Daech. Elles répondent de fait à la mission confiée, détruire ou du moins affaiblir en profondeur les capacités militaires du groupe terroriste islamique.

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 assurer un soutien aérien en Irak et en Syrie dans la lutte contre le groupe terroriste autoproclamé Daech, en frappant notamment l’organisation terroriste avec des moyens aériens. Le dispositif complet est actuellement structuré autour de douze Rafale de l’armée de l’Air, d’un avion de patrouille maritime Atlantique 2 de la Marine nationale ainsi que de capacités de renseignement, de commandement, de contrôle (C2) et de ravitaillement. 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 légère furtive Courbet et son hélicoptère Panther sont également engagés dans le cadre de cette opération en mer Méditerranée depuis le 26 août.

Thursday 8 September – Tornados struck a bomb factory, training facility, rocket launchers and two groups of terrorist fighters in northern Iraq…Tornados continued operations over northern Iraq on Thursday 8 September: intelligence had identified a bomb-making factory and associated terrorist training facility in neighbouring compounds to the west of Tall Afar. A pair of Tornados struck both targets accurately with Paveway IVs, then proceeded to provide close air support to local Iraqi forces, in the course of which they conducted a further successful Paveway attack against two rocket launchers. A second pair of Tornados meanwhile patrolled east of Mosul, where they used Paveway IVs against two groups of Daesh extremists who had been spotted by a coalition surveillance aircraft.

Armée française – Opérations militaires· jeudi 1 septembre 2016

IRAK / SYRIE : CHAMMAL

Au Levant, la situation sécuritaire reste délicate. Cette crise évolue dans un environnement opérationnel complexe mais les avancées des forces de la coalition sur le terrain sont réelles. L’objectif de la coalition est bien de neutraliser les capacités militaires de Daech et de ramener les conditions minimales de sécurité.

Sur le terrain : En Irak, les forces de sécurité irakiennes ont poursuivi leurs opérations de reconquête lancées depuis le printemps. et ont repris certaines villes clefs :

dans la vallée de l’Anbar, elles se sont emparées du poste frontière d’Al Walid et ont consolidé leurs lignes de communication vers les frontières syrienne et saoudienne ;

dans la vallée du Tigre, les forces de sécurité ont réussi à s’emparer de verrous défensifs en direction de Mossoul, grande ville tenue par Daech. Après avoir percé au Nord de Baïji le 15 juillet, elles ont récemment pris le contrôle de la ville de Qayyarah. Il s’agit maintenant de sécuriser complètement cette ville, la « dépolluer », en retirant les pièges, mines, et engins artisanaux laissés par Daech, et consolider les positions.

En Syrie, la coalition a contribué à libérer la ville de Manbïj. Il s’agit maintenant de coordonner la suite de l’action.

Au cours de l’été, Chammal a poursuivi son action sur les 2 volets : celui de la formation des forces armées irakiennes et celui aérien qui permet de frapper les capacités militaires de Daech en Irak comme en Syrie.

Pilier opérations aériennes

Depuis le 5 juillet, les aéronefs de l’opération Chammal ont poursuivi leurs missions aériennes contre Daech. 344 sorties ont été effectuées soit plus de 6 sorties aériennes par jour, alternant reconnaissance aérienne (52), bombardements (273), et ravitaillement (19).

Au bilan, ce sont en tout 61 frappes réalisées et 100 objectifs neutralisés de Daech. Cette moyenne de plus d’une frappe par jour témoigne de l’intensité de notre engagement national.

Près de 80% de ces frappes françaises se sont concentrées sur les abords de Mossoul où la coalition porte son effort.

Ces frappes s’inscrivent dans une logique d’appui direct à la progression des troupes au sol pour affaiblir les défenses de Daech dans la région de Mossoul. Les 10 frappes planifiées conduites en Irak et en Syrie, visaient pour leur part des infrastructures clefs de Daech : atelier de fabrication d’IED, centre d’entraînement, de commandement.

Pilier formation

Les soldats français, essentiellement à Bagdad, poursuivent leurs actions de formation et de conseil au profit des forces irakiennes de l’ICTS et de la 6e division. selon un processus qui est désormais bien rodé.

MISE EN PLACE DU COMANFOR CHAMMAL :

Le 1er août 2016, le général de brigade aérienne Serge Cholley a pris le commandement de l’opération Chammal. Présent auprès de de l’état-major de la coalition installé au Koweït, il commande désormais les 1 000 militaires français déployés au Levant dans cette opération. > En savoir plus.

Mise à jour : 09/09/2016 09:56

Point de situation sur les opérations des armées françaises du 8 septembre 2016

Situation au Levant ; Opération Chammal.

En Irak, après la prise de Qayyarah évoquée la semaine dernière, les forces de sécurité Irakiennes (FSI) se réorganisent et poursuivent la sécurisation autour de cette agglomération, notamment pour détruire les poches de résistance restantes (Sharqat et Hawijah), et consolider les positions avant de reprendre l’offensive.

En Syrie, la coalition s’attache aujourd’hui à coordonner les actions en conservant l’objectif final qui reste la destruction de Daech.

Activités de la force Chammal

L’action de la coalition s’inscrit dans une logique de soutien au profit des forces de sécurité irakienne présentes sur le terrain. Elle repose toujours sur ses deux piliers : un pilier aérien qui permet de frapper les capacités militaires de Daech en Irak comme en Syrie et un pilier de formation des forces armées irakiennes.

Le tempo des opérations de la coalition suit le rythme des avancées des FSI présentes sur le terrain. La réorganisation actuelles des FSI sur le terrain s’est donc traduite par une diminution des frappes aériennes dans la région. Cette semaine, deux frappes d’appui au sol ont ainsi été conduites par la France.

Déploiement GAN et GTA

Conformément à la décision du Président de la République, les armées françaises accentuent leurs actions contre Daech au Levant, dans la continuité des opérations menées depuis septembre 2014 au sein de la coalition internationale. Ces opérations, menées en grande partie pour la France par l’armée de l’air depuis les bases de Jordanie et du Golfe, portent leurs fruits. Elles ont permis d’appuyer efficacement les forces irakiennes dans la reconquête de leur territoire et d’infliger des pertes conséquentes à Daech, désormais sur le recul.

En complément des actions de frappes menées par l’armée de l’air, la contribution française inclura le déploiement d’un groupe d’artillerie et l’envoi du groupe aéronaval avec le porte-avions Charles de Gaulle. Ces renforts seront opérationnels au début de l’automne et viendront appuyer les forces irakiennes dans la reprise de la ville de Mossoul. Le groupe d’artillerie est déployé avec des canons Caesar, le porte-avions a repris son entraînement et appareillera d’ici à la fin du mois de septembre pour rejoindre la Méditerranée orientale.

Retour sur le déploiement de Mirage 2000

Positionnés pour opérer dans des délais très brefs contre les fiefs de Daech, en Irak et en Syrie, les 8 Mirage 2000D et N ont été déployés du 12 décembre 2014 au 28 août 2016.

Intégrés à l’opération Chammal, au sein de l’opération OIR, ils ont effectués plus de 2 300 sorties (2 349) et près de 11 000 heures de vol (10 810).

Cela signifie que 3 à 4 M2000 ont décollé tous les jours pour une mission de frappe, et ce, pendant 21 mois sans interruption.

Ce niveau d’activité opérationnelle intense et sans relâche a pu être tenu dans la durée grâce à l’action de tous les hommes qui œuvrent, souvent dans l’ombre, pour permettre d’atteindre les objectifs opérationnels :

Les équipes techniques mobilisées qui œuvrent à chaque instant pour réaliser la maintenance, la préparation et la mise en œuvre depuis ces bases extérieures, des aéronefs dans des conditions climatiques difficiles, et agressives pour le matériel,

Les équipes de soutien à terre qui permettent le ravitaillement en carburant, eau, nourriture, munitions, pièces de rechanges,

Les soutiens « en vol », à savoir les ravitaillements.

Sans le soutien de ces hommes, de ces équipes, disponibles, dévouées et performantes, ce type d’engagement dans la durée ne serait pas possible.

A cette heure du bilan de l’engagement des Mirage 2000, après ces 21 mois d’activités intenses, il est important de ne pas oublier combien l’action de ces équipes et de leur soutien a été déterminante dans cette opération.
