Le 29 mai 2016, la coalition a concentré ses efforts pour appuyer une offensive des Peshmergas autour de Mossoul dans le cadre des opérations visant à permettre la reprise de la ville, qui est tombée aux mains de Daech depuis bientôt deux ans.

La participation de la composante aérienne de l’opération Chammal a été importante avec l’engagement de plusieurs patrouilles de chasseurs et d’un Atlantique2.

Les Rafale de la base des Emirats arabes unis ont notamment été engagés à plusieurs reprises contre des combattants de Daech qui interdisaient l’avancée des Peshmergas. Réalisées de nuit dans des conditions particulièrement complexes, leurs interventions ont permis la destruction de plusieurs positions de mortiers et de lance-roquettes, ainsi que d’un centre de commandement et des dépôts 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, huit Mirage2000D) d’un avion de patrouille maritime Atlantique2de la Marine nationale 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.

Friday 27 May – Typhoons and a Reaper provided further intensive support around Fallujah; Tornados also destroyed a truck-bomb near Hit and a mortar team near Mosul…Friday 27 May again saw intensive air operations along the Euphrates valley around Fallujah and the wider area. Typhoons silenced two sniper teams with Paveway strikes, then intervened in a closely fought combat between Iraqi troops and Daesh near Habbaniyah; particular care and precision was needed to avoid causing casualties to the Iraqi forces, but three successful Paveway attacks were accomplished. A second Typhoon flight destroyed a light anti-aircraft gun that was firing on Iraqi personnel near Hit, whilst a pair of Tornados used a Brimstone missile to destroy a truck-bomb in the same area. A Reaper was also active over the Euphrates, using a Hellfire to destroy a vehicle-mounted terrorist team, armed with rocket-propelled grenades, on the outskirts of Fallujah.

Despite these efforts around Fallujah, the Kurdish forces in the north were not neglected: Tornados bombed a mortar position near Mosul.

Point de situation des opérations du 26 mai 2016

Mise à jour : 26/05/2016 18:26

Point de situation des opérations du 26 mai 2016

La situation militaire est restée globalement stable au cours de la semaine. Daech défend de façon discontinue les territoires conquis en 2014 pour sanctuariser ses points forts et ses axes logistiques.En Irak, les Forces de sécurité irakiennes (FSI) sont engagées dans près de neuf opérations militaires contre Daech. Elles conservent l’initiative tactique dans l’Anbar en remportant des succès face à Daech. Elles entament également la libération de nouvelles zones, malgré une forte résistance dans la vallée du Tigre.

Dans la vallée de l’Euphrate, la ville de Rutbah a été saisie par les forces irakiennes, dont l’ICTS, le jeudi 19 mai. A proximité des frontières jordanienne et syrienne, cette ville se situe sur un des axes permettant de relier l’Irak à la Jordanie et la Syrie. Elle servait de pôle logistique à Daech, notamment pour la fabrication d’IED. Cette victoire permet aux FSI de reporter leurs efforts sur la libération de la ville de Falloujah. Après avoir concentré leurs efforts sur l’encerclement de la ville, les autorités ont annoncé le lancement des opérations de reprise de la ville, actuellement tenue par le groupe terroriste. Les opérations seront appuyées par les forces aériennes de la coalition. La libération de la ville prendra du temps car Daech a eu le temps de piéger de nombreux ouvrages d’art et de poser des IED pour ralentir la progression des FSI.

Dans la vallée du Tigre, les forces irakiennes font face à un dispositif de défense complexe dans la région de Quayarah.

Point de situation des opérations du 26 mai 2016

Mise à jour : 26/05/2016 18:26

Point de situation des opérations du 26 mai 2016

La situation militaire est restée globalement stable au cours de la semaine. Daech défend de façon discontinue les territoires conquis en 2014 pour sanctuariser ses points forts et ses axes logistiques.En Irak, les Forces de sécurité irakiennes (FSI) sont engagées dans près de neuf opérations militaires contre Daech. Elles conservent l’initiative tactique dans l’Anbar en remportant des succès face à Daech. Elles entament également la libération de nouvelles zones, malgré une forte résistance dans la vallée du Tigre.

Dans la vallée de l’Euphrate, la ville de Rutbah a été saisie par les forces irakiennes, dont l’ICTS, le jeudi 19 mai. A proximité des frontières jordanienne et syrienne, cette ville se situe sur un des axes permettant de relier l’Irak à la Jordanie et la Syrie. Elle servait de pôle logistique à Daech, notamment pour la fabrication d’IED. Cette victoire permet aux FSI de reporter leurs efforts sur la libération de la ville de Falloujah. Après avoir concentré leurs efforts sur l’encerclement de la ville, les autorités ont annoncé le lancement des opérations de reprise de la ville, actuellement tenue par le groupe terroriste. Les opérations seront appuyées par les forces aériennes de la coalition. La libération de la ville prendra du temps car Daech a eu le temps de piéger de nombreux ouvrages d’art et de poser des IED pour ralentir la progression des FSI.

Reports that from 21 to 23 May 2016, Mirage 2000D have repeatedly hit Daesh, day and night. A dozen targets have been destroyed by two planned strikes and ground support missions conducted during the weekend. May 21, 2016, a patrol of two Mirage 2000D conducted a planned strike (Air Prohibition) about thirty kilometers south of Sinjar in northern Iraq. An armored vehicle manufacturing site loaded with explosives was destroyed (vehicle-borne improvised explosive device). During the same day, the air support mission (CAS – Close Air Support) have succeeded in the Mosul region of northern Iraq, but also of Fallujah in Anbar Valley. All day, the Mirage 2000D took turns in the Iraqi skies, ready to strike in favor of friendly troops who request it. Aircraft of Chammal operation thus struck four times on the enemy lines, destroying fighting positions, heavy weapons and vehicles of the terrorist organization. Finally, on the night of May 22 to 23, 2016, four Mirage 2000D equipped with SCALP missiles (long-range cruise autonomous system) hit and destroyed a weapons production site and explosive in the Fallujah area. The planned mission was conducted jointly with four other units of the international coalition (IRO).

Chammal : 48h de frappes contre Daech

Mise à jour : 23/05/2016 18:16

Du 21 au 23 mai 2016, les Mirage 2000D déployés sur la base aérienne projetée en Jordanie ont frappé à plusieurs reprises le groupe terroriste Daech, de jour comme de nuit. Une douzaine d’objectifs ont ainsi été détruits par de 2 frappes planifiées et des missions d’appui au sol conduites durant le week-end. Ces opérations s’inscrivent dans la stratégie d’érosion et de désarticulation du système Daech.

Le 21 mai 2016, une patrouille de deux Mirage 2000D a réalisé une frappe planifiée (Air Interdiction) à une trentaine de kilomètres au sud de Sinjar, dans le nord de l’Irak. Un site de production de véhicules blindés chargés d’explosifs a été détruit (vehicle-borne improvised explosive device). Ces véhicules-suicide sont fréquemment utilisés par Daech pour tenter de percer les lignes de défense des forces de sécurité irakiennes.

Durant la même journée, les missions d’appui aérien (CAS – Close Air Support) se sont succédées dans la région de Mossoul, au nord de l’Irak, mais aussi de Falloujah, dans la vallée de l’Anbar. Toute la journée, les Mirage 2000D se sont relayés dans le ciel irakien, prêts à frapper au profit des troupes amies qui en feraient la demande. Les aéronefs de l’opération Chammal ont ainsi frappé à quatre reprises sur les lignes ennemies, détruisant des positions de combat, de l’armement lourd ou des véhicules de l’organisation terroriste.

Enfin, dans la nuit du 22 au 23 mai 2016, quatre Mirage 2000D équipés de missiles SCALP (système de croisière autonome à longue portée) ont frappé et détruit un site de production d’armement et d’explosif dans la région de Falloujah. Cette mission planifiée a été menée conjointement avec quatre autres appareils de la coalition internationale (OIR).

Le nombre et la diversité des missions réalisées en 48 heures témoignent de la détermination et du professionnalisme des aviateurs de la force Chammal.

Lancée depuis le 19 septembre 2014, l’opération Chammal mobilise actuellement plus de 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 Daech. Le dispositif complet est actuellement structuré autour de quatorze avions de chasse de l’armée de l’Air (six Rafale, huit Mirage 2000D) 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.

Notes

Reports that from 21 to 23 May 2016, Mirage 2000D have repeatedly hit Daesh, day and night. A dozen targets have been destroyed by two planned strikes and ground support missions conducted during the weekend. May 21, 2016, a patrol of two Mirage 2000D conducted a planned strike (Air Prohibition) about thirty kilometers south of Sinjar in northern Iraq. An armored vehicle manufacturing site loaded with explosives was destroyed (vehicle-borne improvised explosive device). During the same day, the air support mission (CAS – Close Air Support) have succeeded in the Mosul region of northern Iraq, but also of Fallujah in Anbar Valley. All day, the Mirage 2000D took turns in the Iraqi skies, ready to strike in favor of friendly troops who request it. Aircraft of Chammal operation thus struck four times on the enemy lines, destroying fighting positions, heavy weapons and vehicles of the terrorist organization. Finally, on the night of May 22 to 23, 2016, four Mirage 2000D equipped with SCALP missiles (long-range cruise autonomous system) hit and destroyed a weapons production site and explosive in the Fallujah area. The planned mission was conducted jointly with four other units of the international coalition (IRO).

Chammal : La base aérienne projetée en Jordanie participe à la libération de la ville de Rutbah

Les aéronefs français déployés sur la Base aérienne projetée (BAP) en Jordanie ont participé entre le 13 et 19 mai 2016 à la libération de la ville de Rutbah, située dans la province d’Al-Anbar au sud-ouest de l’Irak.

Les Forces de sécurité irakiennes (FSI) ont annoncé le 19 mai avoir repris la ville de Rutbah, tenue par le groupe terroriste Daech depuis l’été 2014. A proximité des frontières jordanienne et syrienne, cette ville se situe sur un des axes permettant de relier l’Irak à la Jordanie et la Syrie. Pour Daech, elle servait de pôle logistique, notamment pour la fabrication d’IED.

Aux côtés d’autres appareils de la coalition internationale, les équipages des Mirage 2000D de la BAP ont mené plusieurs missions de bombardement. Le 13 mai une patrouille de deux avions, accompagnée d’aéronefs de la coalition, a conduit un raid planifié (ou mission Air Interdiction) sur un site tenu par des combattants de Daech servant de lieu de stockage d’armement. Les 16 et 19 mai, les Mirage2000D ont réalisé des missions d’appui aux FSI, détruisant notamment une pièce d’artillerie ennemie. Enfin, l’appareil Atlantique2de la Marine nationale a conduit des missions de renseignement et d’évaluation de frappes sur la zone, permettant ainsi de récolter les informations nécessaires à la planification des missions à venir.

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.

Thursday 19 May – Tornados and Typhoons conducted attacks on multiple Daesh targets in northern Iraq, including a tunnel, ammunition stockpiles and rocket launchers…Royal Air Force Tornado GR4s and Typhoon FGR4s have continued to fly armed reconnaissance, strike and close air support missions over Syria and Iraq, destroying two Daesh headquarters in Syria and assisting the Iraqi ground forces as they commence operations to liberate Fallujah.

Tornados from RAF Akrotiri patrolled the Mosul area on Thursday 19 May. North of the city, they used a Paveway IV guided bomb to destroy a tunnel in which a group of Daesh extremists were based, then moved to the east of Mosul where 15 rocket launchers had been stored by the terrorists. Three Paveway IVs were used against ammunition stockpiles, before three Brimstone missiles were used to destroy the rocket launchers. The small warhead and high precision of the Brimstones avoided any structural damage being caused to the surrounding buildings.

Typhoons were also active over northern Iraq that day, operating north of Tall Afar where they employed a pair of Paveways to demolish a large weapons store, then two more Paveways against two other Daesh-held buildings.

Thursday 19 May – Tornados and Typhoons conducted attacks on multiple Daesh targets in northern Iraq, including a tunnel, ammunition stockpiles and rocket launchers…Royal Air Force Tornado GR4s and Typhoon FGR4s have continued to fly armed reconnaissance, strike and close air support missions over Syria and Iraq, destroying two Daesh headquarters in Syria and assisting the Iraqi ground forces as they commence operations to liberate Fallujah.

Tornados from RAF Akrotiri patrolled the Mosul area on Thursday 19 May. North of the city, they used a Paveway IV guided bomb to destroy a tunnel in which a group of Daesh extremists were based, then moved to the east of Mosul where 15 rocket launchers had been stored by the terrorists. Three Paveway IVs were used against ammunition stockpiles, before three Brimstone missiles were used to destroy the rocket launchers. The small warhead and high precision of the Brimstones avoided any structural damage being caused to the surrounding buildings.

Typhoons were also active over northern Iraq that day, operating north of Tall Afar where they employed a pair of Paveways to demolish a large weapons store, then two more Paveways against two other Daesh-held buildings.

Notes

From 11 to 17 May 2016, reports a total of 15 strikes in Iraq destroying 22 targets. There were 14 ground support strikes in support of Iraqi security forces in the areas of Mosul, Ramadi and Fallujah, and one planned strike: On May 13, a patrol of two Mirage 2000D, accompanied by coalition aircraft, conducted a raid in the area of Rutbah against a site held by Daesh fighters and also serving as weapons storage.

IRAK / SYRIE : CHAMMAL

La situation militaire est restée globalement stable au cours de la semaine.
En Irak, les forces gouvernementales (forces de sécurité irakienne – FSI) ont poursuivi leur avancée dans les vallées du Tigre, mais surtout de l’Euphrate. Daech reste sur la défensive malgré des actions localisées. L’effort du groupe terroriste se concentre toujours sur la région de Mossoul.

  • Dans la vallée du Tigre, les Forces de sécurité irakiennes (FSI) sont toujours engagées dans la prise du verrou de Qayyarah. La semaine dernière les FSI ont repris la ville de Kabruk, à l’est de Qayyarah. La progression est lente du fait de la résistance opposée par Daech qui défend cette zone permettant de contrôler les axes conduisant vers Mossoul.
  • Dans la vallée de l’Euphrate, les FSI poursuivent les opérations de contrôle des rives du fleuve. La progression est régulière, malgré la présence d’un grand nombre d’engins explosifs improvisés (IED). La ville de Jubbah a ainsi été libérée le 13 mai.
  • Les FSI, avec le soutien de la coalition, ont lancé une opération en direction de Rutbah, à l’ouest de l’Irak. Placée à proximité des frontières jordanienne et saoudienne, cette ville se situe sur un axe permettant de relier la Syrie à l’Irak. Pour Daech, elle constitue un Hub logistique, notamment dans la fabrication d’IED.

En Syrie, les frappes restent dirigées contre les unités combattantes, les centres de commandement et les capacités logistiques de Daech.
La stratégie d’érosion et de désarticulation du système Daech fonctionne.
Pour autant, Daech conserve une capacité de réaction indirecte ou localisée :

  • la semaine dernière, la capitale irakienne a ainsi été la cible d’une vague d’attentats qui a frappé et causé la mort de près de 150 personnes. Par ces actions, Daech cherche très vraisemblablement à peser indirectement sur l’emploi des forces irakiennes, en contraignant le gouvernement à les maintenir dans la capitale pour en assurer la sécurité.
  • Daesh conserve par ailleurs une capacité de conduire des offensives localisées. Le 12 mai, dans la région de Ramadi, l’organisation a ainsi lancé une attaque regroupant environ 200 hommes qui ont été appuyés par l’emploi de nombreux véhicules blindés chargés d’explosifs. Cette offensive s’est soldée par un échec. Elle a été repoussée par la 10e division irakienne, avec l’appui aérien de la coalition.

Activités de la force Chammal :
Du 11 au 17 mai 2016, les aéronefs de l’opération Chammal ont poursuivi leurs missions aériennes contre Daech en réalisant 45 sorties dont 40 de bombardement, 2 de recueil de renseignement et 3 de contrôle de l’espace aérien. Au total 15 frappes ont détruit 22 objectifs de Daech.
Cette semaine, l’effort de la force Chammal a porté sur les missions d’appui au profit des forces irakiennes engagées au sol contre Daech. Ces frappes ont principalement été dirigées dans les secteurs où le groupe terroriste s’est installé en défense ferme, ainsi que dans les secteurs où il a tenté de lancer des offensives contre les forces irakiennes.
14 frappes d’appui au sol ont été réalisées en Irak au cours de la semaine
La force Chammal a réalisé des missions d’appui au sol (Close Air Support) en soutien des forces de sécurité irakiennes dans les secteurs de Mossoul, Ramadi et Falloujah.
1 frappe planifiée a été conduite en Irak
Le 13 mai une patrouille de 2 Mirage 2000D, accompagnée d’aéronefs de la coalition, a conduit un raid dans la région de Rutbah contre un site tenu par des combattants de Daech et servant également de stockage d’armement.’
