France report that on Aug 31st, two Rafales struck two caches of ISIS arms in the Euphrates Valley. It took more than six hours of flight to the Rafale patrol and three air refueling to accomplish this mission.

Chammal : destruction de caches d’armes de Daech

Mise à jour : 07/09/2018

Le 31 août 2018, deux Rafale de la base aérienne projetée (BAP) en Jordanie ont de nouveau frappé Daech lors d’une mission de Close Air Support (CAS – appui aérien rapproché), en Syrie.

Comme quasiment tous les jours depuis le début de l’opération Chammal, les aéronefs du « Groupe de bombardement 43 » ont décollé, le 31 août, de la base aérienne projetée en Jordanie pour lutter contre Daech depuis le ciel syro-irakien. Cette mission s’est conclue par la réalisation d’une frappe sur deux caches d’armes dans la vallée de l’Euphrate, qui a permis de poursuivre la réduction du potentiel militaire ennemi.

Les pilotes des Rafale ont procédé au tir d’armements de précision qui ont détruit leurs objectifs. Afin de mener à bien cette mission en toute sécurité, ces frappes ont été précédées d’une reconnaissance du site en coordination avec un drone de la coalition et ont fait l’objet d’un dialogue constant avec un contrôleur aérien avancé en charge de désigner l’objectif aux pilotes.

Il a fallu plus de six heures de vol à la patrouille de Rafale et trois ravitaillements en vol pour accomplir cette mission qui s’inscrivait dans le cadre de la préparation de l’offensive des forces démocratiques syriennes contre les derniers réduits territoriaux de Daech en Syrie.

La base aérienne projetée en Jordanie contribue au quotidien à la lutte contre Daech. Depuis sa création le 21 novembre 2014, près de 6 000 sorties et 26 000 heures de vol ont été réalisées par les aéronefs qui y sont stationnés.

Lancée depuis le 19 septembre 2014, l’opération Chammal représente la participation française à OIR (opération Inherent Resolve) et mobilise aujourd’hui près de 1 100 militaires. À la demande du gouvernement irakien et en coordination avec les alliés de la France présents dans la région, l’opération Chammal repose sur deux piliers complémentaires : un pilier « formation» au profit d’unités de sécurité nationales irakiennes et un pilier « appui » consistant à soutenir l’action des forces locales engagées au sol contre Daech et à frapper les capacités militaires du groupe terroriste.

SITUATION MILITAIRE DU THEATRE

Offensive contre les dernières poches de Daech en Syrie

En Syrie, les forces démocratiques syriennes (FDS), après avoir repris cet été la poche de Dashisha, sont actuellement dans une phase de réorganisation avant de lancer leur offensive dans la moyenne vallée de l’Euphrate, tout en accompagnant, dans les régions libérées récemment, le retour d’une forme d’administration. L’objectif, pour les FDS, est de permettre le retour à la vie normale et d’éviter le retour de Daech dans ces zones.

Poursuite des actions de sécurisation en Irak

En Irak, si Daech a mené quelques attaques isolées cette semaine, la situation sécuritaire demeure relativement stable du fait de l’action des forces de sécurité irakiennes (FSI) qui allie opérations de sécurisation et actions de rétablissement des infrastructures essentielles au retour à la vie normale de la population.

France reports that on August 1st, a patrol of two Rafale C Bombing Group 43″equipped with precision guided bombs, took off from the proposed air base (BAP) in Jordan to carry out a fire support mission including a planned strike aiming on production facilities of Daesh explosives in the Euphrates Valley in Syria. The strike aimed destroy a site used by the terrorist organization to make explosives and assemble suicide vehicles. The mission was conducted in coordination with coalition fighter jets. French aircraft dropped two precision bombs “AASM” (armament air- modular floor) of 250kg. The ammunition destroyed the building.

Chammal : mission de frappe planifiée pour les Rafale de la base aérienne projetée en Jordanie

Mise à jour : 10/08/2018

Le 1er août 2018, une patrouille de deux Rafale C du « Groupe de Bombardement 43 » équipés de bombes à guidage de précision, a décollé de la base aérienne projetée (BAP) en Jordanie pour réaliser une mission d’appui feu incluant une frappe planifiée visant des capacités de production d’explosifs de Daech dans la vallée de l’Euphrate en Syrie.

L’opération planifiée et ordonnée par le centre des opérations aériennes de la coalition, le CAOC de la base aérienne d’Al Udeid au Qatar, visait à détruire un site utilisé par l’organisation terroriste pour fabriquer des explosifs et assembler des véhicules suicides.

La mission a été réalisée en coordination avec des avions de combat de la coalition. Après qu’une reconnaissance préalable du site, réalisée par un drone allié, ait permis de s’assurer de l’absence de risque de dommages collatéraux, les aéronefs français ont procédé au tir de deux bombes de précision « AASM » (armement air-sol modulaire), de 250kg. Les munitions ont détruit le bâtiment, conformément aux effets militaires recherchés.

Il aura fallu trois ravitaillements et 4h30 de vol aux deux Rafale pour accomplir cette mission qui traduit la détermination des armées françaises à poursuivre la lutte pour défaire totalement l’organisation terroriste Daech.

La base aérienne projetée en Jordanie contribue au quotidien à la lutte contre Daech. Depuis sa création, près de 6000 sorties, plus de 1000 frappes et 25 000 heures de vol ont été réalisées par les aéronefs stationnés.

Lancée depuis le 19 septembre 2014, l’opération Chammal représente la participation française à l’OIR (opération Inherent Resolve) et mobilise aujourd’hui près de 1 100 militaires. À la demande du gouvernement irakien et en coordination avec les alliés de la France présents dans la région, l’opération Chammal repose sur deux piliers complémentaires : un pilier « formation» au profit d’unités de sécurité nationales irakiennes et un pilier « appui » consistant à soutenir l’action des forces locales engagées au sol contre Daech et à frapper les capacités militaires du groupe terroriste.
