Ikke noget der tyder på civile tab ved dansk F-16-angreb i Irak

Koalitionen har i sin undersøgelse af dansk F-16-angreb konkluderet, at der med overvejende sandsynlighed ikke var tale om civile, men personer der udførte en fjendtlig handling på landjorden. 02-10-2015 – kl. 13:09

Af Værnsfælles Forsvarskommando

Der er ikke noget, der tyder på, at Forsvaret har været skyld i civile tab under et F-16-angreb i Irak den 30. august i år.

– Jeg er selvfølgelig tilfreds med, at koalitionens undersøgelse konkluderer, at der ikke er noget, der tyder på, at der har været tale om civile tab, men at der var tale om personer, som var i gang med at udføre en fjendtlig handling på landjorden, siger chefen for Operationsstaben i Værnsfælles Forsvarskommando, generalmajor Flemming Lentfer.

Forsvaret offentliggjorde den 3. september 2015, at de danske F-16-fly, der er indsat i kampen mod ISIL, under et angreb mod godkendte mål den 30. august, muligvis havde forårsaget civile tab. Vurderingen var baseret på videomateriale fra de danske F-16-fly.

I visse dele af videomaterialet, der viser fire personer og et køretøj, bliver der foretaget handlinger, som kan opfattes som ikke værende åbenlyst fjendtlige. Den danske styrke videreformidlede denne vurdering til koalitionens lufthovedkvarter, der igangsatte en undersøgelse af hændelsen. Denne undersøgelse er nu afsluttet.

Vigtigt, at mistanker om civile tab undersøges

Så snart der opstod mistanke om, at de danske F-16-flys angreb kunne have medført civile tab, gik Forsvaret til koalitionen for at få sat en undersøgelse af angrebet i gang.

– Det er klart, at så snart der opstår mistanke om, at et angreb kan have været skyld i civile tab, så ønsker Forsvaret at få det undersøgt grundigt. Det gør vi for at sikre, at de grundige processer, som både vi og koalitionen har før, under og efter et angreb virker efter hensigten og medvirker til at minimere utilsigtede følgevirkninger, herunder civile tab, siger generalmajor Flemming Lentfer.

Koalitionen har i forbindelse med undersøgelsen gennemgået alt tilgængeligt materiale fra angrebet. Det drejer sig blandt andet om de to danske F-16-flys fulde videomateriale fra selve angrebet, piloternes egne observationer samt en række andre efterretningsoplysninger.

Og koalitionens konklusion er klar. Der er med overvejende sandsynlighed ikke tale om civile tab. Koalitionen peger i deres undersøgelse på, at de fire personer var i gang med at placere vejsidebomber.

– Vi har fra dansk side yderligere gennemgået alt materiale og koalitionens konklusioner. Den danske gennemgang af materialet er blevet udført under min ledelse med personel med chef- og militær juridisk erfaring fra blandt andet den danske Mission Target Approvel Authority, som indgår i luftoperationscenteret i Qatar, en uddannet billedanalytiker, der selv tidligere har været udsendt med bidraget samt en F-16-pilot, der ikke har været personligt involveret i den undersøgte mission, siger generalmajoren.

Den endelige danske vurdering er således baseret på en grundig og fagligt velfunderet evaluering foretaget af både kompetent og uvildigt personel.

– Vores tvivl er nu fjernet på baggrund af koalitionens resultat og vores gennemgang af materialet. Det viser med overvejende sandsynlighed, at der var tale om fjendtlige mål. Det er vi tilfredse med, siger Flemming Lentfer.

Koalitionen har ikke efterfølgende modtaget henvendelser om civile tab fra lokalbefolkningen i det område, hvor angrebet skete.

Fakta om angrebet

Selve angrebet blev indledt efter ønske fra koalitionens hovedkvarter og blev godkendt af militære repræsentanter for den irakiske regering samt det danske Red Card Holder-team, inden det blev sat i gang.

Under angrebet rammes tre af de fire personer samt køretøjet. Den fjerde person havde kort forinden forladt området.

Under angrebet blev der anvendt to bomber af typen GBU12.

On Thursday 1 October, an RAF Reaper remotely piloted aircraft patrolled ahead of Kurdish peshmerga as they conducted their latest offensive against the ISIL terror network in northern Iraq. The Reaper’s crew identified a team of armed terrorists moving on foot and successfully engaged them with a Hellfire missile. The Reaper then provided support to a coalition air strike on an ISIL facility, where car-bombs were being assembled; our aircraft used its sensors to sweep the surrounding area, ensuring there was no risk to civilians, before the air strike went ahead and destroyed the target.

En Syrie, où Daech tente toujours d’obtenir des gains territoriaux, la semaine a été marquée par la réalisation d’une première frappe française au Sud de la ville de Deir Ez Zor. Elle a été réalisée sur la base des éléments recueillis par les missions ISR conduites depuis le 8 septembre 2015.

Le 24 septembre 2015, la Frégate anti-aérienne (FAA) Cassard a rejoint le groupe aéronaval américain- Carrier Strike Group 12 (CSG12) – constitué autour du porte-avions USS Theodore Roosevelt. Ce faisant, il rejoint les forces françaises engagées au Levant. Sa mission consiste à prendre le commandement d’une zone de défense aérienne, au profit du Centre de coordination des opérations aériennes (CAOC) d’Al Udeid, situé au Qatar. En parallèle, il participe en tant qu’escorteur à la protection du porte-avions américain.

Cette semaine, 19 missions aériennes ont été effectuées par la force Chammal au-dessus de l’Irak et au-dessus des zones contrôlées par Daech en Syrie, dont 7 missions de renseignement. Sept frappes ont été réalisées, conduisant à la destruction de 24 objectifs dans les régions irakiennes de Mossoul et Ramadi, et à Deir Ez Zawr en Syrie.

Falkens sidste mission i Irak

Natten mellem tirsdag og onsdag lettede de danske F-16 kampfly fra basen i Kuwait. Missionen blev den sidste af i alt 547 under den nuværende udsendelse. Fra i dag har Danmark ikke længere F-16 indsat i den samlede koalition mod ISIL.

01-10-2015 – kl. 16:34

Af Ronny Rasmussen, Værnsfælles Forsvarskommando

Kl. 09.00 onsdag morgen landede de danske F-16 kampfly på basen. Siden første mission den 16. oktober 2014 har det danske bidrag i alt fløjet 547 missioner og anvendt 503 præcisionsbomber under denne udsendelse. Kampflybidraget pakker nu sammen for at vende tilbage til Danmark for at restituere, så de er klar til fremtidige missioner.

De danske fly har været indsat i luftoperationer inden for irakisk territorium og har deltaget i såvel informationsindhentning som offensive luftoperationer. Chefen for det danske F-16 bidrag Hold 7 er ikke i tvivl om, at indsatsen har været en vigtig del af den samlede koalition mod ISIL.

– Hvis nu koalitionen ikke havde deltaget med luftstøtte til at holde ISIL tilbage, så ville billedet i dag have set markant anderledes ud. Det kan godt være, at fronterne på kortet ikke har flyttet sig så meget. Men hvis ikke man havde fået luftstøtten, tror jeg, at ISIL i dag ville have haft et større terræn, siger GUS, pilot og chef for det danske F-16 detachement Hold 7.

Alt skal væk

De kommende fire til seks uger skal alt pakkes ned og sendes hjem.

– Selvom vi nu skal pakke alt ned, har jeg sørget for, at jeg selv og mine folk har haft 100 procent fokus på den operative opgaveløsning helt op til sidste mission, som vi fløj i går. Vi kan derfor nu fokusere mere på at få gjort flyene klar til hjemturen og få pakket alt materiel i kasser, siger GUS

Når flyene er sendt hjem, sendes også hovedstyrken hjem. Derefter pakkes alt IT-udstyr ned sammen med kontorfaciliteter.

– Vi ser nu på materiellister og vurderer, hvad der skal hjem og i hvilken rækkefølge. Hjemsendelsen af materiel sker efter prioritet. Gods, som benyttes til operationer i Danmark, sendes med militære transportfly, mens resten sendes med civil lufttransport eller med skibe. Det er ikke den letteste måde, men det er den billigste, siger Jeppe, der er major og har det logistiske ansvar i missionen.

Når de sidste danskere har forladt basen, er det op til koalitionspartnerne at vurdere, hvem der skal overtage pladsen på basen – og den er eftertragtet, eftersom danskerne var nogle af de første, der deltog med kampfly i koalitionens operation og derfor har fået den bedste plads på basen.

Fakta:

Det danske F-16 bidrag til Operation Inherent Resolve består af syv fly og op til 140 mand. Det omfatter også forbindelses- og stabsofficerer ved relevante hovedkvarterer. 
Udover F-16 bidrager Danmark også med et 120 mand stort bidrag fra Hæren, som skal uddanne og vejlede de irakiske sikkerhedsstyrker i bl.a. skydning, førstehjælp, føring og stabsarbejde.

Coalition forces are supporting a Peshmerga offensive operation against Daesh terrorists west of Kirkuk, Iraq that began Sept. 30, 2015. Peshmerga fighters successfully penetrated Daesh defensive positions, cleared fighters, liberated eight villages, and re-established government control over approximately 140 square kilometers between Huwayjah and Kirkuk.

Coalition aircraft conducted more than 50 airstrikes in support of this operation. Airstrikes against Daesh positions began several days before the ground operation in order to set favorable conditions for the Peshmerga by degrading Daesh’s ability to fight.

“The Peshmerga fighters continue to reduce Daesh’s initial gains in northern Iraq,” said Col. Christopher Garver, Public Affairs Officer for CJTF-OIR. “This was another important fight in the overall effort to degrade and ultimately defeat Daesh”.

In the last four weeks, the Peshmerga have conducted three successful offensive operations against Daesh terrorists, returning more than 400 square kilometers of territory to government control, liberating 23 villages in the process, and helping to set the conditions for local citizens to return to their homes.

Missionerne, som de danske fly har deltaget i, har været offensive, og de danske fly har i den forløbne periode deltaget i missioner i Ninawa, Salah al Din og Al Anbar provinserne. Målene for bomberne har været bygninger og våbenstillinger anvendt af ISIL.

De danske fly har fløjet Close Air Support-missioner (CAS), hvor flyene er indsat som luftstøtte til styrker på landjorden. Her vil flyene patruljere over et bestemt område, hvorefter de vil kunne blive indsat af koalitionen, når der er behov for støtte. Luftstøtten vil variere afhængig af, hvad der er behov for. Det kan både dreje sig om overvågningsopgaver og bombninger af mål.

De danske fly har også gennemført Air Interdiction-missioner. Her planlægges et specifikt angreb mod et på forhånd defineret mål udførligt og detaljeret hjemmefra, og flyene flyver direkte frem til målet, kaster bomber hvis målene kan overvåges i real tid og flyver retur. Ved disse missioner har målene for bomberne været fjendtlige styrker og bygninger.

På de missioner, hvor de danske F-16 ikke har anvendt våben, har de bidraget med overvågning og indhentning af efterretninger. På sådanne overvågningsmissioner er flyene dog altid klar til at anvende våben, hvis der er behov for det.

Siden første mission den 16. oktober 2014, har det danske bidrag i alt fløjet 543 missioner og anvendt 493 bomber. Alle de danske bomber er præcisionsstyrede, hvilket vil sige, at de styres mod deres mål ved hjælp af enten laser eller GPS.

Notes

France reports conducting its first airstrike in Syria: a five hour mission targeting a Daesh training camp south of Dayr ez Zour

Le 27 septembre 2015, les forces françaises ont mené leur premier raid aérien en Syrie contre Daech. Cinq Rafale, un Atlantique 2 et un avion de ravitaillement C-135 ont été engagés dans cette mission qui visait un camp d’entraînement de l’organisation terroriste.

Depuis le 8 septembre 2015, les forces françaises conduisent des missions de reconnaissance au-dessus des zones contrôlées par Daech en Syrie. Au total, jusqu’au 24 septembre inclus, 12 missions ISR (Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance) ont ainsi été menées.

Ces missions de reconnaissance renforcent la capacité d’appréciation autonome de la France sur la situation des régions contrôlées par l’organisation terroriste en Syrie. Elles ont permis d’identifier des cibles d’intérêt situées au cœur du sanctuaire de Daech.

Le 27 septembre 2015, les aéronefs de l’opération Chammal ont mené un raid aérien contre un camp d’entraînement de Daech situé dans la vallée de l’Euphrate, au Sud de Deir Ez Zor. Il s’agit d’une frappe délibérée sur un objectif reconnu préalablement. Nos renseignements recoupés avec ceux de la coalition ont clairement établi que ce camp est occupé et actif.

Ce raid a été mené depuis les deux bases aériennes de l’opération Chammal situées en Jordanie et dans le Golfe Arabo-Persique.

Les armées françaises ont débuté leurs frappes à 6h30 (heure française). L’objectif ciblé a été détruit. Le raid a duré environ cinq heures.

La neutralisation de Daech s’inscrit dans le temps long. Cette première frappe constitue la suite logique des missions de reconnaissances engagées depuis le 8 septembre. La poursuite du processus d’acquisition du renseignement sur l’organisation de Daech permettra de lui infliger de nouveaux coups.

Lancée depuis le 19 septembre 2014, l’opération Chammal mobilise 700 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 appui (aérien et formation) aux forces irakiennes dans la lutte contre le groupe terroriste autoproclamé Daech. Le dispositif complet est actuellement structuré autour de douze avions de chasse de l’armée de l’Air (six Rafale, trois Mirage 2000D et trois Mirage 2000N) et d’un avion de patrouille maritime Atlantique 2.
