Chammal : 18 frappes contre Daech en Irak et en Syrie cette semaine, 25 objectifs détruits

État-major des armées | 23 avril 2016

Du 20 au 26 avril 2016, la composante aérienne de la force Chammal a réalisé 52 sorties, dont 41 de bombardement, 7 de recueil de renseignement et 4 de contrôle de l’espace aérien. Ces sorties ont permis la réalisation de 18 frappes, aboutissant à la destruction de 25 objectifs. En particulier les aéronefs français ont mené plusieurs raids dans la profondeur en Syrie et en Irak au cours de missions planifiées. 13 frappes d’appui au sol ont été réalisées en Irak au cours de la semaine

  • 6 frappes dans les secteurs de Mossoul et de Sinjar
  • 7 frappes dans le long de la vallée de l’Euphrate

La force Chammal a concentré ses missions de frappe au-dessus de la vallée de l’Euphrate, à l’ouest de l’Irak, où les chasseurs français ont en particulier appuyé les opérations terrestres de reconquête de la ville de Hit et d’encerclement de la ville de Falloujah. 5 frappes planifiées ont été réalisées en Syrie et en Irak au cours de la semaine

  • 3 frappes en Syrie dans le secteur d’Abu Kamal.
  • 2 frappes en Irak : l’une dans la région d’Al Qaim et la seconde au cœur du dispositif défensif de Daech dans la ville de Falloujah.

Après avoir menés un engagement continu pendant 36h en fin de semaine dernière, les aéronefs force Chammal ont de nouveau frappé dans la nuit du dimanche 24 au lundi 25 avril 2016. 4 Mirage 2000D ont participé à une frappe conjointe en Irak. Au cours de ce raid dans la région de Falloujah, d’importantes infrastructures ont été détruites. Sous contrôle du groupe terroriste Daech, ces bâtiments servaient de zone de regroupement et de transit de combattants ainsi que de dépôt d’armement. Cette dernière mission, coordonnée par le centre des opérations aériennes de la coalition situé à Al Udeïd au Qatar, démontre l’interopérabilité des équipages français avec leurs homologues américains. Elle s’inscrit dans la stratégie d’affaiblissement de Daech, en détruisant systématiquement ses moyens militaires mais aussi logistiques.

Notes

Reports that Dutch F-16s bombed various targets in Iraq and Syria, and that the Netherlands oversaw an Air Interdiction mission, which – in collaboration with several coalition partners – destroyed a large factory making car bombs (Vehicle Born Improvised Explosive Devices.)

Nederlandse F-16’s bombardeerden diverse doelen in Irak en Syrië en zetten daarmee terreurorganisatie ISIS verder onder druk. Een overzicht van Defensieoperaties in de week van 19 tot 25 april.

De anti-ISIS-coalitie schat dat de terroristische organisatie in Irak 40 % van zijn terrein heeft verloren (waaronder 18 steden) en in Syrië 20 %. Nu de opmars van ISIS is gestopt, staat als vervolgfase het aanpakken van het voortzettingsvermogen van de terreurorganisatie op de agenda van de brede internationale coalitie.

Midden-Oosten

Een nieuw detachement vormt de Air Task Force Middle-East. Het is de 7e rotatie, die zich voor 3 maanden inzet voor de strijd tegen terreurorganisatie ISIS in Irak en Oost-Syrië. De Nederlandse F-16’s bombardeerden diverse doelen in Irak en Syrië. Nederland had de leiding over een Air Interdiction missie, waarbij in samenwerking met meerdere coalitiepartners een specifiek doel werd vernietigd. In dit geval een grote fabriek waar autobommen werden gemaakt (Vehicle Born Improvised Explosive Device.

De Mosul-dam verkeert momenteel in slechte staat. Met de Iraakse regering is afgesproken dat een Italiaans bedrijf de dam gaat herstellen. Het Mobile Support Team (MST) voert samen met Groot-Brittannië en Noorwegen deze week een training uit in de omgeving van de dam. Hierbij worden Zeravani getraind om zo de dam te kunnen bewaken.

Nederlandse trainers van het MST trainen Peshmerga in de omgeving van het front. De inhoud van het 2 weken durende programma is afgestemd met het Ministry of Peshmerga zodat deze aansluit bij de behoefte. Daarnaast zijn Iraakse commando’s bijgeschoold, onder meer met een sniper- en een medische cursus. In de omgeving van Baghdad is afgelopen week weer een sniper course afgerond. In coalitieverband zijn er inmiddels meer dan 20.200 mensen getraind en meer dan 3.700 zijn nu nog in training.

Notes

Reports 3 strikes between 21-22 April: 2 in the Abu Kamal region of Syria and 1 in the Al Qaim region of Iraq

En 36 heures, la force Chammal réalise 3 frappes planifiées en Syrie et en Irak

Les 21 et 22 avril 2016, la composante aérienne de la force Chammal a réalisé 3 frappes planifiées en moins de 36 heures contre des sites de Daech.

Ces missions, réalisées grâce aux renseignements recueillis dans les semaines précédentes, ont permis de frapper plusieurs infrastructures clés de l’organisation terroriste.

2 frappes planifiées ont été conduites en Syrie:

Le 21 avril, deux patrouilles, composées de 2 et 4 Mirage 2000D, ont respectivement détruit dans la région d’Abu Kamal une infrastructure pétrolière utilisée à des fins militaires et une caserne.

1 frappe planifiée a été conduite en Irak:

Le 22 avril, une patrouille composée de 2 Mirage 2000D a de nouveau frappé, visant un dépôt logistique dans la région de Al Qaim.

De telles frappes nécessitent en effet un important travail préalable de renseignement destiné à alimenter le processus de ciblage.

Ce processus conduit à une analyse “systémique” de l’ennemi, c’est-à-dire “des systèmes et des acteurs, de leurs capacités et de leur rôle dans l’évolution de la situation” (*).

Le résultat de cette analyse aboutit à la constitution de dossiers d’objectifs qui désignent les cibles « militaires » destinées à être frappées en fonction des effets à obtenir sur l’ennemi.

Après les frappes, un nouveau cycle de renseignement est initié pour conduire une analyse après action qui vise à évaluer les dommages provoqués par les frappes tant sur les objectifs que sur leur environnement. C’est le « Battle Damage Assessment ». Cette démarche permet de juger de l’efficacité de la mission et de déterminer s’il y a lieu, éventuellement, de procéder à de nouvelles frappes. Elle permet également de garantir l’absence de dommages collatéraux.

Notes

Reports a joint strike, in Fallujah, Iraq, during the night of Sunday 24 to Monday 25 April, destroying important Daesh infrastructure. This mission “coordinated by the Center of coalition air operations in Al Udeid in Qatar, demonstrates the interoperability of French crews with their US counterparts. It is part of the strategy of weakening Daech, by systematically destroying its military means but also logistics.”

Après avoir menés un engagement continu pendant 36h en fin de semaine dernière, les aéronefs force Chammal ont de nouveau frappé dans la nuit du dimanche 24 au lundi 25 avril 2016. 4 Mirage 2000D ont participé à une frappe conjointe en Irak. Au cours de ce raid dans la région de Falloujah, d’importantes infrastructures ont été détruites. Sous contrôle du groupe terroriste Daech, ces bâtiments servaient de zone de regroupement et de transit de combattants ainsi que de dépôt d’armement.

Cette dernière mission, coordonnée par le centre des opérations aériennes de la coalition situé à Al Udeïd au Qatar, démontre l’interopérabilité des équipages français avec leurs homologues américains. Elle s’inscrit dans la stratégie d’affaiblissement de Daech, en détruisant systématiquement ses moyens militaires mais aussi logistiques.
