On the morning of Friday 6 February, an RAF Tornado GR4 patrol worked closely with a coalition surveillance platform to provide overwatch for Kurdish peshmerga, who were engaged in close combat with ISIL – also known as Da’ish – terrorists near Mosul. When an ISIL mortar position opened fire on the pehsmerga, the GR4s were able to respond with a Brimstone missile which scored a direct hit.
Early on Saturday morning [February 7th], another Tornado pair patrolled western Iraq, near Al Qa’im, close to the Syrian border. Two heavily armed ISIL trucks were identified and attacked with Brimstone missiles. The GR4s also located an ISIL armoured personnel carrier and conducted a further Brimstone attack; initial analysis indicates that all three vehicles were destroyed.

03-02-2015 – kl. 16:15 – 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 i og omkring Ninawa provinsen. Målene for bomberne har været fjendtlige styrker og bygninger.
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.
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 173 missioner og anvendt 115 bomber. Alle de danske bomber er præcisionsstyrede, hvilket vil sige, at de styres mod deres mål ved hjælp af enten laser eller GPS.

On Jan. 30, Kurdish Security Forces (KSF) counterattacked ISIL on eight bridges they had captured during their initial assault on Kirkuk. By the end of the day, the KSF had successfully recaptured five of the bridges. On Jan. 31, the KSF continued to advance and eventually recaptured the remaining three bridges. Afterwards, the KSF improved and reinforced the former ISIL positions in preparation for a counterattack which took place on Feb. 1. ISIL attempted to regain all the crossing points with a synchronized, multipronged attack, and was defeated by the KSF.

From Saturday through Monday, coalition forces conducted 32 airstrikes in support of the KSF in Kirkuk, neutralizing or destroying ISIL armored tactical and armored vehicles, numerous ISIL formations and fighting positions, buildings and other equipment.

CENTCOM currently assesses that while ISIL still has the ability to conduct small-scale operations, their capacity to do so is degraded and their momentum is stalling. The increasing tenacity of anti-ISIL forces along with coalition airstrikes has degraded ISIL’s ability to command and control forces; recruit, train and retain fighters, produce revenue from oil sales, and maintain morale.

On 30 January 2015, while taking part in coalition missions in support of Iraqi security forces ground operations conducted northwest of Baghdad, CF-188 Hornets successfully struck an ISIL mortar using precision guided munitions.

Mise à jour : 27/01/2015 11:24

Cette semaine, la force Chammal a réalisé 22 missions aériennes au-dessus du sol irakien.

Dans la nuit du 21 au 22 janvier, les avions français ont contribué à un raid de la coalition dans le nord du pays, dans la région de Sinjar.

En fin de soirée, une patrouille a décollé pour un raid aérien planifié visant à détruire des positions de combat de Daech. Une dizaine d’objectifs a été détruit par les chasseurs français au moyen de bombes AASM1.

Cette opération aérienne combinée (COMAO) a été précédée, le 20 janvier, d’une mission d’Intelligence, surveillance et reconnaissance (ISR) effectuée par un Atlantique 2de la Marine nationale. Cette mission « pré-strike », qui a mobilisé l’Atlantique 2durant plus de sept heures sur zone, a permis de rafraichir et confirmer les objectifs quelques heures avant leur neutralisation.

Hormis ce raid, les Rafale et Mirage2000D de l’armée de l’Air ont conduit quotidiennement des vols de reconnaissance armée, contribuant de façon complémentaire au recueil du renseignement sur le groupe terroriste Daech, en étroite coordination avec nos alliés présents dans la région.

Sur le volet maritime, la frégate anti-aérienne Jean Bart poursuit sa mission d’escorte du porte-avions USS 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.

(1)L’AASM (Armement Air-Sol Modulaire) est une famille d’armements guidés air-sol intelligents de nouvelle génération. Tiré à distance de sécurité et autonome, l’AASM atteint une cible fixe ou mobile avec une très haute précision, de jour comme de nuit et par tous les temps.
