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.

Mission Update nr. 6

Opdatering fra de danske styrker indsat i Operation Inherent Resolve. 28-07-2016 – kl. 14:00

Af Værnsfælles Forsvarskommando

Kampflybidraget

De operationer, som de danske F-16-fly har deltaget i i den forgangne uge, har fundet sted over de irakiske provinser Al Anbar, Salah Ad Din, Erbil, Dahuk og Ninawa samt de syriske provinser Ar Raqqah og Aleppo.Missionerne har omfattet angreb i Irak rettet mod fjender i bygninger, våbenlagre, faciliteter som blev anvendt til opbevaring af biler monteret med improviserede sprængladninger (VBIED), samt overvågning og indsamling af efterretninger.

Til og med onsdag den 27. juli 2016 kl. 12 er følgende gældende:

Antal fløjne missioner siden 20. juli 2016 kl. 12: 9

Antal anvendte præcisionsbomber siden 20. juli 2016 kl. 12: 19

Antal fløjne missioner totalt: 55

Antal anvendte præcisionsbomber totalt: 71

– Militærkuppet fredag den 15. juli startede en periode med nogen usikkerhed, men på nuværende tidspunkt er situationen ved at nærme sig normalen for operationer. Det danske bidrag har på intet tidspunkt været udsat for fare, og alle har det godt, beretter Detachment Commander, oberst Peter Johan Bødker.

Radarbidraget

I løbet af den forgangne uge har TPS77-radaren kørt uden vanskeligheder, og radarbidraget har leveret input til koalitionens samlede luftovervågningsbillede.

Træningsbidraget

DANCON OIR Hold 3 afsluttede i sidste uge træning og uddannelse af cirka 300 betjente fra det irakiske grænsepoliti, og overdragelsen til OIR Hold 4 er nu så småt gået i gang.I øjeblikket træner det danske bidrag højtstående stabsofficerer fra den irakiske hærs 7. Division. Træningen tager udgangspunkt i den aktuelle operative situation for de irakiske styrker.

– Vores træning af stabsofficerer fra 7. Division har det klare formål at give divisionsstaben nogle håndgribelige værktøjer, som de kan anvende i forbindelse med de kommende operationer mod Daesh, siger chefen for DANCON OIR Hold 3, oberstløjtnant Kenneth Strøm.

De danske soldater i DANCON er stationeret på Al Asad Air Base omkring 200 km. nordvest for Bagdad. Her holder den irakiske 7. Division også til.- I går afsluttede vi træningen af stabsofficerer fra divisionsstaben. De kommende dage fortsætter vi med træningen af alle divisionens brigadechefer og nogle af deres udvalgte stabsofficerer. Derefter kommer bataljonscheferne også ind til træning, fortæller Kenneth Strøm og tilføjer:- Det er et dansk pilotprojekt, som vi allerede nu har ret god erfaring med. Vi underviser de irakiske chefer i den form for operationer, som de skal gennemføre umiddelbart efter træningen. Vi tager udgangspunkt i det aktuelle terræn, og jeg synes, vi havde nogle rigtig gode taktiske drøftelser. Jeg er overbevist om, at træningen også denne gang vil være med til at gøre en forskel i forbindelse med 7. Divisions kommende operationer mod Daesh, vurderer den danske styrkechef.

Transportflybidraget

Siden begyndelsen af juli i år har det danske forsvar endvidere haft et C130 Hercules transportfly udsendt til Kuwait til støtte for indsatsen i Operation Inherent Resolve.Det danske C-130 bidrag er vel etableret i missionen og har i den forgangne uge gennemført seks missioner i missionsområdet. Det danske C130 fly har i den forgange uge gennemført missioner i Jordan, Irak og Tyrkiet fra basen i Kuwait. Formålet med missionerne har primært været lufttransport af forsyninger til enheder i Irak og Tyrkiet, idet der også er ydet støtte til faldskærmstræning for amerikanske specialstyrker i området.Samarbejdet med de amerikanske partnere fra Air Force Special Operations Detachment (AFSOD) fungerer rigtig godt, og der er en passende mængde relevante opgaver for bidraget at løse.
