Sunday 7 August – Tornados destroyed a number of Daesh tankers in a Syrian oilfield. Typhoons and a Reaper provided further close air support near Qayyarah in northern Iraq…Daesh were observed to be attempting to extract oil from one of the eastern Syrian oilfields which had been successfully targeted by previous coalition air strikes earlier this year. On Sunday 7 August, two Tornados attacked a convoy of tankers north of Abu Kamal. Four Paveway IVs and four Brimstone missiles accounted for a number of vehicles, denying the terrorists the oil revenue they desperately seek.

In northern Iraq, a Reaper and Typhoons were again supporting the Iraqi operations around Qayyarah. The Reaper conducted Hellfire attacks on a mortar team that was firing on the Iraqis and on a set of rocket rails. It then helped other coalition aircraft to successfully target an improvised armoured vehicle. The Typhoons also used three Paveway IVs to destroy three Daesh-held buildings.

Le 3 août 2016, une patrouille de deux Mirage 2000D accompagné d’un Atlantique 2 et une patrouille de deux Rafale ont été sollicités par les forces terrestres irakiennes pour détruire une position tenue de longue date par Daech. Les missions d’appui au sol (close air support) permettent de favoriser l’avancée des forces de la coalition vers Mossoul et d’affaiblir les groupes terroristes. Retour sur ces missions quotidiennes de la force Chammal.

Le 3 août au matin, les Mirage 2000D et l’Atlantique 2 de la force Chammal ont décollé tôt de la base aérienne projetée en Jordanie pour rejoindre la région de Mossoul en mission d’appui aérien. Deux Rafale, arrivant du golfe arabo-persique, une patrouille d’avions de chasse et un avion ravitailleur allié ont été sollicités pour prendre part à cette mission.

Les forces de sécurité irakiennes avaient identifié un hameau déserté de ses habitant mais occupé par Daech depuis plusieurs mois. Cette position permettait notamment à l’organisation terroriste de tenir Mossoul, en empêchant la progression des forces irakiennes

Après une heure d’étude sur zone et grâce aux renseignements fournis par l’Atlantique 2, les Mirage et les forces irakiennes au sol, une douzaine d’objectifs ont pu être définis pour des frappes multiples.

La patrouille de Mirage 2000D, désignée chef de mission, les Rafale et les aéronefs alliés ont donc exécuté simultanément leurs frappes et détruit tous les objectifs. Lors de cette mission, l’Atlantique 2 a été sollicité pour délivrer avec succès de l’armement sur un dernier objectif d’opportunité, en coopération avec un Rafale, qui a assuré le guidage de la munition tandis que la patrouille de Mirage 2000D rejoignait sa base.

Les missions d’appui aux forces terrestres s’inscrivent dans la stratégie d’affaiblissement de Daech, en détruisant systématiquement ses moyens militaires et logistiques.

Lancée depuis le 19 septembre 2014, l’opération Chammal mobilise actuellement 1000 militaires. Elle 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 en Irak et en Syrie dans la lutte contre le groupe terroriste autoproclamé Daech, en frappant l’organisation terroriste avec ses moyens aériens. Le dispositif complet est actuellement structuré autour de quatorze avions de chasse de l’armée de l’Air (six Rafale, cinq Mirage 2000D et trois Mirage 2000N) d’un avion de patrouille maritime Atlantique 2 ainsi que de capacités de renseignement, de commandement, de contrôle (C2) et de ravitaillement. Il comprend également une centaine de militaires projetés à Bagdad et Erbil pour la formation et le conseil des états-majors et unités irakiennes.

1 frappe planifiée a été conduite en Irak le 06 août. Dans la région de Qayyarah, 2 Mirage 2000D ont détruit un centre de commandement local de l’organisation terroriste.

Chammal : un nouveau commandant pour l’opération

Le général de brigade aérienne Serge Cholley commande désormais l’opération Chammal, qui vise à frapper Daech en Irak et en Syrie, tout en appuyant la formation de l’armée irakienne.

Positionné auprès du centre de commandement de la coalition dont il sera l’interlocuteur privilégié, le général Cholley aura pour mission de conduire cette opération en étroite coordination avec nos alliés et dans le respect de nos règles d’engagement.

Toute ma confiance et tous mes encouragements pour cette difficile mission, essentielle dans notre stratégie militaire globale de lutte contre les groupes armés terroristes.

Point sur les opérations au 04 août 2016

Chammal : point de situation au levant

Cette semaine, dans la vallée du Tigre, en Irak, les forces de sécurité irakiennes ont poursuivi la valorisation de leurs positions dans le secteur de Qayyarah, malgré des actions de harcèlement menées par Daech. Le groupe terroriste confirme sa logique de repli défensif autour des villes de Mossoul et d’Alq Qaim, ainsi que sur les axes y conduisant.

En Syrie, les forces démocratiques syriennes poursuivent leur progression dans la ville de Manbij. Leur avancée est prudente en raison du piégeage systématique du terrain. Par ailleurs, elles ont mis en échec une tentative de contre-offensive de Daech qui cherchait à défaire l’encerclement de la ville.

ACTIVITÉS DE LA FORCE CHAMMAL

La force Chammal poursuit la campagne aérienne, ainsi que les missions de formation et de conseil.

Du 27 juillet au 02 aout 2016, les aéronefs de l’opération Chammal ont poursuivi leurs missions aériennes contre Daech, en réalisant 39 sorties, dont 32 de bombardement, 6 de recueil de renseignement et 1 de ravitaillement en vol.

Elles ont permis la réalisation de 8 frappes, aboutissant à la destruction de 13 objectifs de Daech.

7 frappes d’appui au sol ont été réalisées en Irak au cours de la semaine notamment à Mossoul.

1 frappe planifiée a été conduite en Irak le 31 juillet. Dans la région de Mossoul, 4 Mirage 2000D ont mené un raid auquel étaient associés des avions de la coalition. Un centre de commandement de Daech a été détruit.

Le 30 juillet 2016, un ravitailleur C135 a rejoint la base aérienne 104 pour être engagé au sein de l’opération Chammal. Un engagement récurrent puisque le C135 complète régulièrement le dispositif aérien mis en œuvre par la France dans la lutte contre le groupe terroriste Daech, en Irak et en Syrie. Deux jours après leur arrivée, les équipages du ravitailleur français étaient déjà mobilisés dans le ciel irakien.

Mission update nr.7

Opdatering fra de danske styrker indsat i Operation Inherent Resolve

04-08-2016 – kl. 19:58

Af Værnsfælles Forsvarskommando

Kampflybidraget

I den forgangne uge har de danske F-16 kampfly angrebet mål i Syrien, nærmere bestemt i den syriske provins Al Raqqah, og har deltaget i operationer over de irakiske provinser Al Anbar, Ninawa, Dahuk, Erbil og Salah Ad Din. Missionerne har omfattet angreb på kommando- og kontrolfaciliteter, våbenlagre, kampstillinger og fjender i bygninger. Endelig har F-16 flyene også udført overvågningsopgaver og indsamlet efterretninger.

Til og med onsdag den 3. august kl. 12.00 er følgende gældende:

Antal fløjne missioner siden 27. juli: 12

Antal anvendte præcisionsbomber siden 27. juli: 22

Antal fløjne missioner i alt: 67

Antal anvendte præcisionsbomber i alt: 93

Radarbidraget

TPS77-radaren i Irak kører som planlagt, og bidraget leverer vigtig information til koalitionens luftovervågningsbillede. Operatørbidraget har forsat et godt samarbejde med koalitionen og løfter en væsentlig del af den operative opgave.

Træningsbidraget

Mere end 100 danske soldater er for nylig ankommet til Al Asad Airbase. Her er de nu i gang med at overtage træningsopgaven fra soldaterne på Hold 3, som inden længe vil returnere til Danmark efter seks måneders tjeneste i Irak. Overdragelsen af opgaven foregår i god ro og orden, og det er forventningen, at Hold 4 inden længe for alvor kan fortsætte træningen af de irakiske sikkerhedsstyrker.

Transportflybidraget

Den seneste uge har budt på meget forskellige opgaver for C-130 bidraget. Missionerne har omfattet støtte til træningen af koalitionens specialstyrker, der står i beredskab til hurtig indsættelse, og flytning af personel og gods for koalitionen i både Irak og Tyrkiet i den forsatte opbygning af specialoperationsbidragene. Desuden har de danske C-130 gennemført udskiftning af dansk personel ved træningsbidraget i Irak.

C-130 bidraget har endnu engang vist sig at være en meget fleksibel kapacitet, som er værdsat og høster stor anerkendelse hos Danmarks koalitionspartnere. I denne uge overdrager hold 1 opgaven i Kuwait til det næste hold, som vil være udsendt i de næste to måneder.

Wednesday 3 August – Tornados destroyed a Daesh mortar to the north-west of Mosul…On Wednesday 3 August, Tornados destroyed a Daesh mortar position while patrolling the north and west of Mosul.

L’intervention des aéronefs français a permis de détruire une douzaine de baraquements et tunnels d’un système défensif utilisés par les combattants de Daech.

Chammal : 100ème sortie pour l’Atlantique 2 basé en Jordanie

Mise à jour : 03/08/2016 17:25

Le 29 juillet 2016, l’Atlantique 2 (ATL2) de la Marine nationale a franchi le cap de sa 100ème sortie réalisée à partir de la Base aérienne projetée (BAP) en Jordanie, dans le cadre de l’opération Chammal. Cela représente environ 800 heures de vol et 1500 points d’intérêt analysés pour identifier des cibles pertinentes et contribuer à frapper Daech en profondeur.

Auparavant déployé dans le golfe arabo-persique pour mener des missions de reconnaissance aérienne au-dessus de l’Irak, l’ATL2 a été repositionné sur la base aérienne projetée depuis le 10 février 2016. Il se rapproche ainsi du théâtre des opérations et peut donc doubler la durée de ses vols au-dessus l’Irak et la Syrie.

L’ATL2 permet d’obtenir des renseignements sur le fonctionnement, la logistique, les ressources humaines, financières et matérielles de Daech. Grâce aux résultats de ses vols, des dossiers d’objectifs sont bâtis pour in fine frapper les installations et les forces de Daech.

L’ATL2 est également en en mesure de bombarder lui-même, comme ce fut le cas le mois dernier en coopération avec un Mirage 2000D de la BAP.

À l’origine, l’ATL2 est un avion de patrouille maritime et de lutte anti sous-marine permettant des missions à long rayon d’action au-dessus des mers. Mais les flottilles de patrouille maritime ont une bonne expérience des missions aéroterrestres, et leurs équipages, sont entraînés à sonder la profondeur des zones désertiques.

Lancée depuis le 19 septembre 2014, l’opération Chammal mobilise actuellement 1000 militaires. Elle 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 en Irak et en Syrie dans la lutte contre le groupe terroriste autoproclamé Daech, en frappant l’organisation terroriste par le feu aérien. Le dispositif complet est actuellement structuré autour de quatorze avions de chasse de l’armée de l’Air (six Rafale, cinq Mirage 2000D et trois Mirage 2000N) d’un avion de patrouille maritime Atlantique2 de la Marine nationale ainsi que de capacités de renseignement, de commandement, de contrôle (C2) et de ravitaillement.

Tuesday 2 August – a Reaper provided close air support to Iraqi troops near Qayyarah. Typhoons supported Syrian democratic forces fighting in Manbij…With Iraqi ground forces continuing their offensive to clear Daesh from the area around Qayyarah, a Royal Air Force Reaper provided close air support on Tuesday 2 August. The Reaper observed terrorists attempting to salvage a heavy machine-gun from a truck that had been hit by a previous coalition strike and successfully engaged them with a Hellfire missile. A second group of extremists were also attacked with another Hellfire. UK aircraft then provided targeting support that allowed a coalition fast jet to destroy a mortar team.

Over Syria, a pair of Typhoons were similarly supporting the Syrian democratic forces as they fought to secure Manbij. A number of buildings on the south-western edge of the town had been fortified by Daesh as a major defensive position. These were successfully struck by the Typhoons, using eight Paveway IV guided bombs, despite the proximity of the moderate Syrian forces.

Strikes by @RoyalAirForce Tornado jets hit #Daesh training site at Saddam

Monday 1 August – Tornados participated in a major coalition air strike on Saddam’s former palace in Mosul, used by Daesh as a headquarters and training establishment for foreign terrorists, while Typhoons destroyed a network of fortified positions on the outskirts of Manbij…In Mosul, extensive surveillance had established that Daesh were using a palace, built by the former dictator Saddam Hussein, as a major headquarters and training centre for foreign terrorist recruits. The complex, sat in a large secure compound next to the Tigris, included not just the main palace building, used as an accommodation and meeting venue by the terrorists, but also a number of more discreet outbuildings used for command and control, training, internal security and repression. A large coalition air package drawn from several nations conducted a carefully coordinated attack on the complex on the afternoon of Monday 1 August. The British contribution was a pair of Tornados, armed with the largest guided bombs in the RAF’s inventory, the 2000lb Enhanced Paveway III, which were used to target first the headquarters buildings, then a security centre. Initial analysis indicates that the coalition mission was successful.

Over Syria, Typhoons again flew close air support missions for the Syrian democratic forces on 1 August as they advanced into Manbij. A network of fortified positions on the south-western edge of the town, held by a large number of Daesh extremists, was destroyed by a salvo of eight Paveway IVs.

2016_AJOD_365_001_005

Cette semaine, en Irak les forces de sécurité irakiennes ont consolidé leurs positions dans le secteur de Qayyarah, de part et d’autre du Tigre. Daech confirme sa logique de repli défensif autour des villes de Mossoul et d’Alq Qaim, ainsi que sur les axes y conduisant.

En Syrie, les forces démocratiques syriennes progressent lentement vers le centre de Manbij, défendu avec acharnement par Daech. A l’est de Palmyre, Daech est engagé dans de rudes combats pour la défense du carrefour clef de Deir-er-Zor.

ACTIVITES DE LA FORCE CHAMMAL

La force Chammal poursuit la campagne aérienne et les missions de formation et de conseil.

Du 20 au 26 juillet 2016, les aéronefs de l’opération Chammal ont poursuivi leurs missions aériennes contre Daech, en réalisant 37 sorties, dont 28 de bombardement et 9 de recueil de renseignement.

Elles ont permis la réalisation de 6 frappes, aboutissant à la destruction de 10 objectifs de Daech.

5 frappes d’appui au sol ont été réalisées en Irak au cours de la semaine notamment à Qayyarah et Mossoul.

1 frappe planifiée a été conduite en Syrie le 23 juillet dans la région de Raqqah, par quatre Mirage 2000 contre un site de fabrication de véhicules piégés.
