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.

Operation Roundup, which began May 1 to accelerate the defeat of Daesh in the Middle Euphrates River Valley and Iraqi-Syrian border region, has continued to gain ground and remove terrorists from the battlefield through offensive operations coupled with precision Coalition strike support.

Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve and its partner forces’ operations are exerting pressure on Daesh senior leaders and associates, as well as degrading, disrupting and dismantling Daesh organizational structures throughout Iraq and Syria.

Operation Roundup will continue to target Daesh remnants as the Coalition remains committed to the lasting defeat of Daesh to increase peace and stability in the region, and to protect all our homelands from Daesh’s terrorist threat.

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.

Point de situation des opérations

IRAK – SYRIE – CHAMMAL

SITUATION MILITAIRE DU THEATRE

Offensive contre les dernières poches de Daech en Syrie

En Syrie, l’offensive contre les deux dernières emprises territoriales de Daech se poursuit.La sécurisation de la poche de Dashisha est quasiment terminée, les positions ont été consolidées.

Dans la vallée de l’Euphrate, les forces démocratiques syriennes multiplient les patrouilles défensives et interceptent des terroristes qui tentent de fuir la région.

Poursuite des actions de sécurisation en Irak

Les opérations de sécurisation se poursuivent. Le contrôle de la frontière irako-syrienne reste une priorité pour les forces de sécurité irakiennes.

ACTIVITE DE LA FORCE

Formation au profit des forces de sécurité irakiennes

La Task Force Narvik continue de s’investir au profit des soldats de l’Iraqi Counter Terrorism Service (ICTS), unité d’élite de l’armée irakienne.

Initié début juillet, un stage « driver » est conduit conjointement par des instructeurs français et irakiens au profit de 40 soldats irakiens. Il a pour objectif principal l’apprentissage des savoir-faire indispensables au déplacement en convoi de véhicules en toute sécurité, dans des environnements variés. Particulièrement complexe, la réaction à des embuscades en milieu urbain est au cœur de cette formation qui s’appuie sur une instruction progressive et adaptée.

En complément des actions de formation déjà initiées, ce stage participe directement à la montée en puissance de l’ICTS.

Changements d’autorité à Chammal

Depuis le lancement de l’offensive le 1er mai, la Task Force Wagram a réalisé 197 missions de tirs. Cette semaine, aucune mission de tir n’a été réalisée (bilan du 25 au 31 juillet inclus).

Depuis le début de son engagement, la Task Force Wagram a réalisé 1856 missions de tir.

Les bases aériennes en Jordanie et aux EAU en appui des opérations

Sur la semaine écoulée, les aéronefs de l’opération Chammal ont réalisé 30 sorties aériennes en appui des forces locales engagées au sol (bilan du 25 au 31 juillet inclus). Aucune frappe n’a été réalisée.

Bilan total de l’action du pilier appui aérien depuis le 19/09/14 :

Wednesday 1 August – Tornados attacked a terrorist truck in northern Iraq…Support continues to be given by Royal Air Force and other coalition aircraft to the Iraqi security forces as they maintain their efforts to prevent Daesh elements re-establishing an operational presence in the country. A coalition surveillance aircraft identified a terrorist truck concealed under trees in a remote area of countryside, some 40 miles east-north-east of Tikrit. A flight of Tornado GR4s from RAF Akrotiri, supported by a Voyager air refuelling tanker, conducted a successful attack on the vehicle using a single Paveway IV guided bomb on Wednesday 1 August.

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.
