27-01-2015 – kl. 16:50– 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 Mosul, Bayji, den nordvestlige del af Ninawa provinsen og i den vestlige del af Al Anbar 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.

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 og flyver retur. Ved disse missioner har målene for bomberne været fjendtlige 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 163 missioner og anvendt 105 bomber. Alle de danske bomber er præcisionsstyrede, hvilket vil sige, at de styres mod deres mål ved hjælp af enten laser eller GPS.

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.
