20-01-2015 – kl. 14:43 – 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 Bayiji og Al-Anbar provinsen.

De danske fly har primært fløjet missioner, der kaldes 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 kan også her bestå af flere forskellige opgaver, afhængig af hvad der er behov for. Det kan både dreje sig om overvågningsopgaver og bombninger af mål. På nogle af CAS-missionerne har de danske F-16 fly kastet bomber i forbindelse med kamphandlinger på jorden. Målet for bomberne har været bygninger og fjendtlige styrker.

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.

I løbet af de seneste 12 missioner har de danske fly kastet seks bomber.

Siden første mission den 16. oktober 2014 har det danske bidrag i alt fløjet 151 missioner og anvendt 99 bomber. Alle de danske bomber er præcisionsstyrede, hvilket vil sige, at de styres mod deres mål af enten laser eller GPS.

On Jan. 18, U.S. and Coalition military forces continued to attack ISIL terrorists in Syria, using attack, bomber, fighter, and remotely piloted aircraft to conduct 15 airstrikes. Separately, U.S. and Coalition military forces conducted 11 airstrikes in Iraq, using attack, fighter, and remotely piloted aircraft against ISIL terrorists. All strikes took place between 8 a.m., Jan. 18, and 8 a.m., Jan. 19, local time. The following is a summary of the strikes conducted since the last press release:

A l’issue d’une escale technique planifiée, la frégate anti-aérienne Jean Bart a repris la mer et poursuit sa mission dans le golfe Arabo-Persique.

CHAMMAL : point de situation du 15 janvier 2015

Le vendredi 9 janvier, opérant dans des conditions météorologiques difficiles, une patrouille de reconnaissance armée a détruit deux positions de combat de Daech dans la région de Mossoul, au Nord de l’Irak.

Lors d’une mission de reconnaissance armée le dimanche 11 janvier 2015, deux avions de chasse français sont intervenus contre Daech, guidés par un drone tactique qui suivait des combats au sol. Leur action a permis la neutralisation de combattants dans une zone de combat située au nord de Falloujah.

Le lundi 12 janvier, les chasseurs français sont de nouveau intervenus dans la région de Mossoul afin de neutraliser un poste de combat depuis lequel les combattants de Daech opéraient des tirs de mortier.

Sur le volet maritime, la frégate anti-aérienne Jean Bart a appareillé samedi 10 janvier après une escale de maintenance. Elle poursuit sa mission d’escorte du porte-avions Carl Vinson et de contrôle de l’espace aérien irakien au sein de la Task Force 50.

Lancée le 19 septembre 2014, l’opération Chammal 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 aux forces armées irakiennes dans leur lutte contre le groupe terroriste autoproclamé Daech. Le dispositif est structuré autour de neuf avions Rafale, six avions Mirage 2000D, un ravitailleur C-135 FR, un avion de patrouille maritime Atlantique 2 et la frégate anti-aérienne Jean Bart, intégrée dans le groupe aéronaval américain constitué autour du porte-avions USS Carl Vinson.

12-01-2015 – kl. 16:42– De danske F-16-fly, der er udsendt som bidrag til Operation Inherent Resolve, har siden seneste opdatering 5. januar fløjet 9 missioner og anvendt 6 bomber.

Det kan både dreje sig om overvågningsopgaver og bombninger af mål.

Derudover har de danske fly gennemført flere missioner, der kaldes Airborne Alert Interdiction. Ved denne type missioner patruljerer flyet i luften, samtidig med at piloten får udpeget nogle objekter og steder på jorden, der skal ses nærmere på. Hvis der her lokaliseres og identificeres militære mål, kan flyene på samme måde som under Close Air Support-missioner (CAS) beordres til at angribe disse mål.

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.

Midden-Oosten

Na 375 missies en meer dan 200 keer de wapens te hebben ingezet, keerde het eerste F-16-detachement uit het Midden-Oosten in Nederland terug. Het F16-detachement is ingezet om de opmars van ISIS tegen te gaan met 6 F-16’s en 250 militairen.

Het nieuwe detachement vloog afgelopen week inmiddels meerdere missies boven verschillende provincies van Irak. Daarbij zetten zij wapens in tegen doelen en strijders van ISIS. In Erbil en Bagdad arriveerden de eerste trainers voor de Iraakse en Koerdische strijdkrachten.
