Notes

France becomes the first international partner to join US in air war against ISIL, carrying out two air strikes on an ISL logistics depot at Zumar, north east Iraq.

Le dépôt logistique de Daech ciblé par le raid aérien effectué ce matin (vendredi 19 septembre 2014) a été détruit.

Au cours de ce vol d’environ cinq heures, les deux Rafale ont été ravitaillés à trois reprises par l’avion ravitailleur C135-FR.

Les chasseurs français, équipés de pod de désignation Damoclès ont porté leurs frappes entre 09h40 et 09h58 avec quatre bombes guidées laser GBU 12.

L’avion de patrouille maritime Atlantique 2 a effectué une mission d’une dizaine d’heures, coordonnée avec celle des Rafale. Ses capteurs ont permis d’assurer le volet renseignement de la mission et d’effectuer un battle damage assesment (BDA)* transmis immédiatement au centre de planification et de conduite des opérations situé à Paris.

Durant cette mission, le volet personnel recovery, c’est-à-dire la capacité à secourir les pilotes en zone hostile, était assuré par des moyens militaires américains.

Conformément à la volonté du Président de la République, de nouvelles frappes se dérouleront dans les jours à venir pour soutenir les armées irakiennes dans leur lutte contre Daech. Ces frappes seront à nouveau effectuées en coordination étroite avec les autorités irakiennes ainsi qu’avec nos alliés présents sur le théâtre.

Un avion de patrouille maritime Atlantique 2 a effectué aujourd’hui une mission de reconnaissance d’environ 10 heures dans le ciel irakien. Déployé aux Emirats arabes unis depuis le début du mois, cet avion de la Marine nationale effectuait jusqu’alors des vols de reconnaissance maritime dans le Golfe arabo-persique et le nord de l’océan Indien, au titre des missions de connaissance et d’anticipation. Doté notamment de capacités de prise d’images de jour comme de nuit et de moyens de renseignement, cet aéronef appartient à la flottille 23F basée à Lann-Bihoué (Morbihan). Il opère actuellement depuis la base aérienne 104 d’Al Dhafra où il est détaché.

Deux Rafale de l’escadron de chasse 3/30 « Lorraine » de l’armée de l’air ont également effectué aujourd’hui un vol ISR dans le ciel irakien. Ils étaient équipés, comme pour les missions précédentes, de pod RECO NG.

Pour cette mission d’ISR réalisée sous le contrôle du contre-amiral Beaussant, amiral commandant la zone océan Indien (ALINDIEN), les Rafale et l’Atlantique 2 agissent en complémentarité dans le recueil de renseignement sur les positions tenues par les combattants de Daesch. Cette mission a été effectuée, en étroite coordination avec tous nos alliés présents dans la région.

Cette action conjuguée des moyens permet à la France de renforcer sa capacité d’appréciation autonome de la situation et confirme, comme l’a énoncé M. Jean-Yves Le Drian, ministre de la Défense lors de son déplacement du 15 septembre dernier sur la base aérienne d’Al Dhafra, la détermination de la France à s’engager avec ses alliés dans la lutte contre le groupe terroriste Daesch en Irak.
