Cette semaine, la force Chammal a réalisé vingt-sept missions aériennes au-dessus de l’Irak, incluant plusieurs missions de reconnaissance armée et un raid ayant abouti à la destruction d’un camp d’entraînement de Daech.

Dans la matinée du 25 février 2015, deux avions Rafale Marine ont décollé depuis le porte-avions Charles de Gaulle, pour leur première mission de frappe au-dessus de l’Irak. Le groupe aéronaval, engagé depuis le 23 février dans l’opération Chammal, est déployé à partir du golfe arabo-persique où il vient renforcer les composantes françaises déjà engagées dans la coalition depuis plus de cinq mois.

Parallèlement, dans le cadre du volet conseil et formation de l’opération Chammal, plusieurs éléments sont arrivés en Irak cette semaine : la quasi-totalité du détachement d’instruction opérationnelle (DIO) génie de Bagdad le 21 février, et le DIO infanterie de Bagdad le 24 février. Ces DIO, respectivement orientés sur les domaines du génie et de l’infanterie, seront tous deux réalisés au profit de militaires irakiens de l’Iraqi Counter Terrorism Service. Au total, avec le DIO génie d’Erbil, déjà en place, et les mentors de la mission de conseil d’état-major Advise & Assit, qui seront mis en place prochainement, ce sont une centaine de militaires français qui participeront au volet conseil et formation de l’opération Chammal.

Lancée depuis le 19 septembre 214, l’opération Chammal mobilise 3 200 militaires. Elle vise, à la demande du gouvernement irakien et en coordination avec les alliées de la France présents dans la région, à assurer un soutien aérien 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 et six Mirage 2000D), d’un avion ravitailleur C-135 FR, d’un avion de patrouille maritime Atlantique 2, et du groupe aéronaval.

24-02-2015 – kl. 15:53 – De danske F-16-fly, der er udsendt som bidrag til Operation Inherent Resolve, har siden seneste opdatering 17. februar fløjet 11 missioner og anvendt 14 bomber. Missionerne, som de danske fly har deltaget i, har været offensive, og de danske fly har i den forløbne periode deltaget i missioner i områderne omkring Ninawa, i Al Anbar og det centrale Irak. Målene for bomberne har været fjendtlige styrker, bygninger og køretøjer.
De danske fly har fløjet Close Air Support-missioner (CAS), hvor flyene er indsat direkte 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. På nogle af disse missioner har de danske fly kastet bomber mod fjendtlige styrker/bygninger/køretøjer i forbindelse med kamphandlinger på jorden.
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 208 missioner og anvendt 158 bomber. Alle de danske bomber er præcisionsstyrede, hvilket vil sige, at de styres mod deres mål ved hjælp af enten laser eller GPS.
