Wednesday 1 June – Tornados struck three Daesh strongpoints on the southern outskirts of Fallujah, whilst Reapers destroyed a terrorist check-point and a rocket launcher in western and northern Iraq respectively…Reapers were in action again on Wednesday 1 June. One patrolled the skies above Qayyarah, where a camouflaged set of loaded rocket launch rails were spotted and destroyed with a Hellfire missile. A second Reaper patrolled over eastern Syria and western Iraq, and located a terrorist check-point on the Iraqi side of the border, west of Al Qa’im, which was stopping the free movement of traffic. Again, a Hellfire missile was employed and the check-point successfully attacked. Two Tornado missions provided reconnaissance and close air support to Iraqi forces around Fallujah. One pair of Tornados used Paveway IVs to conduct simultaneous attacks on two Daesh-held buildings close to a canal to the south of the city; one building housed a terrorist sniper team, the other a recoilless anti-tank artillery piece. Both targets were destroyed by direct hits. The second Tornado flight successfully silenced a heavy-machine-gun positioned in a third Daesh strongpoint after it opened fire on the advancing Iraqi troops.

Tuesday 31 May – Reapers, Typhoons and Tornados all provided close air support to the Fallujah offensive, as well as destroying other Daesh targets in northern and western Iraq…

With Iraqi ground forces continuing operations to liberate Fallujah, Royal Air Force Tornado GR4s, Typhoon FGR4s, and Reapers joined other coalition aircraft in providing intensive close air support.

On Tuesday 31 May, Tornados used Paveway IV guided bombs to destroy two heavy machine-guns that were threatening the advancing Iraqi forces; one, mounted on a truck concealed in a palm grove north of Fallujah, the second in a building on the southern outskirts of the city. In northern Iraq, a Typhoon and a Reaper provided assistance to the Kurdish peshmerga and Iraqi forces. The Typhoons destroyed the headquarters of a local Daesh commander to the south-east of Mosul, using Paveway IVs, while the Reaper assisted a coalition aircraft in targeting an engineering vehicle used for constructing defences near Qayyarah, then used its own Hellfire missiles against two terrorist mortar teams. Both the Typhoons and the Reaper then flew south to add their weight to air operations over Fallujah. The Typhoons successfully attacked a third heavy machine-gun position. The Reaper kept close watch on a group of terrorists test-firing and loading weapons, including a heavy machine gun, onto a supply truck. The reaper then destroyed the truck with a direct hit from a Hellfire missile.

Further west, along the Euphrates, near the recently liberated town of Hit, a second Reaper provided support to Iraqi forces consolidating the security of the surrounding area. The Reaper destroyed both a machine-gun team and a vehicle carrying a recoilless anti-tank gun with its Hellfires.

Nederlandse F-16’s bombardeerden diverse doelen in Irak in de strijd tegen ISIS. De toestellen hielpen onder meer bij het verdrijven van strijders van de terreurorganisatie uit Fallujah. Een overzicht van Defensieoperaties in de week van 23 mei tot 30 mei.

De Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) begonnen afgelopen week met hun offensief om de Iraakse stad Fallujah te heroveren op ISIS. Vliegtuigen van de internationale coalitie ondersteunden de Irakezen hierbij vanuit de lucht. Ook Nederlandse F-16’s van Air Task Force Middle East (ATF ME) leverden hun bijdrage. Ze zetten meermaals hun wapens in om de ISF te ondersteunen in de buurt van Fallujah. Daarnaast was ook veelvuldig wapeninzet nodig in Noord-Irak, waar de Peshmerga strijdt tegen ISIS. Deze week zijn door Nederlandse inzet onder meer raketlanceerinstallaties en verschillende vuurposities vernietigd.

Le 29 mai 2016, la coalition a concentré ses efforts pour appuyer une offensive des Peshmergas autour de Mossoul dans le cadre des opérations visant à permettre la reprise de la ville, qui est tombée aux mains de Daech depuis bientôt deux ans.

La participation de la composante aérienne de l’opération Chammal a été importante avec l’engagement de plusieurs patrouilles de chasseurs et d’un Atlantique2.

Les Rafale de la base des Emirats arabes unis ont notamment été engagés à plusieurs reprises contre des combattants de Daech qui interdisaient l’avancée des Peshmergas. Réalisées de nuit dans des conditions particulièrement complexes, leurs interventions ont permis la destruction de plusieurs positions de mortiers et de lance-roquettes, ainsi que d’un centre de commandement et des dépôts logistiques.

Lancée depuis le 19 septembre 2014, l’opération Chammal mobilise actuellement 1000 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 l’organisation terroriste avec ses moyens aériens. Le dispositif complet est actuellement structuré autour de quatorze avions de chasse de l’armée de l’Air (six Rafale, huit Mirage2000D) d’un avion de patrouille maritime Atlantique2de 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.
