The Rafale Air Force hit positions of the Islamic State in Iraq Photo: © EMA - Two Rafale who participated in the air strikes in Iraq. Besides the GBU-12, the devices carry a air-to-air missile MICA IR, and a targeting pod Damocles. Yesterday Thursday, September 18, during his press conference at the Elysee facing 350 journalists, President François Hollande had said that "once we have identified targets, we will act in a short timeframe" to hitting positions jihadists of the Islamic State (or Daech, but it's the same thing in Arabic). This decision was taken in response to requests from the Iraqi authorities in a legal framework. These air strikes, raised yesterday by the head of state, were thus carried out in the morning, around 9:40, two Rafale Fighter Squadron 3/30 "Lorraine", accompanied by a supply C 135FR and an Atlantic II of the Navy, who performed here a mission intelligence purposes. It's in a statement issued by the Elysee, we learn that this air raid targeted "a logistics depot terrorist organization Daech in northeastern Iraq. Objective was achieved and completely destroyed. " This "spotted in the Mosul area by reconnaissance and intelligence made this week," according to the General Staff of the Army supply depot, was hit by four bombs air-ground GBU-12 dropped from both Rafale who participated in this mission. The Rafale, parked on the 104 Al Dhafra Air Base, arose in the UAE at around 10:40, according to Nicolas Bertrand, a journalist for France 2 , and Special Envoy on site. EMA also states that this operation is "controlled by the Chief of Staff of the army, General Peter de Villiers, and under the operational control of Beaussant against Admiral, Admiral commanding the Indian Ocean region (ALINDIEN). " It is also stated that "this air raid was conducted in coordination with the Iraqi authorities and our allies in the region." The statement from the Elysee added that "other operations will continue in the coming days" and that "Parliament will be informed next week by the Prime Minister of the conditions of the commitment of our forces alongside Iraqi forces and Peshmerga ", as is the French Constitution. The purpose of these missions, and this new commitment, the sixth since the arrival of Francois Hollande as head of state, will be to "weaken Daech and restore Iraqi sovereignty." A few hours after the first air strikes, Hollande spoke at the Elysee stating in particular that France will not send French troops on the ground in Iraq. However, although this is not officially confirmed, elements of the French special forces are already on the ground in northern Iraq to assist and instruct fighters to whom France has supplied weapons and why not, to coordinate and ensure the lens targeting for French fighter planes.

Against the Islamic state In the Emirates, Le Drian prepare for war The French defense minister was Monday on Al Dhafra base in Abu Dhabi to prepare for air operations against the Islamic state. Monday, September 15, while in Paris, Francois Hollande holds a conference on Iraq, against Admiral Beaussant, commander of French forces in the United Arab Emirates held the cards in front of the defense minister Jean-Yves Le Drian and he shows the areas to explore. On the military base Al Dhafra, six bursts and Atlantic-a plane much used Mali- are ready to take off. For the first time in its short history, the base could serve as a launching pad for an all-out war. "It was understood last Friday," said "Ted", thirties who, speaking of the 43 buttons joysticks Rafale is comparable to a "pianist". In recent days, he dissects the press and blogs Defense for when the famous start operation. Monday, September 15, two pilots will make an initial reconnaissance flight in Iraq. Equipped with a pod "Pod RECO" their aircraft can take pictures of high-definition at 30 000 feet above sea level and temperature sensing, to account for ground movement. A mega hard drive then can store all the comments and the need to transmit real-time to the database. For the ten pilot Squadron 3/30 Lorraine Hunt posted at Al Dhafra, the mission is to map a large area little known by the French army northern Iraq. Estimated duration of the mission: "a few days". Date strikes: next. Before the troops, Jean-Yves Le Drian evokes the context of "exceptional gravity". "The only effective response to terrorist threats of the Islamic state (EI) is the international coalition. Whatever the terms, it is certain that you will have to play a vital role. "What role for which modality? The issue remains unresolved. Announced with great fanfare at the NATO summit, the contour of the coalition remains unclear. While Americans already bombarding positions for three weeks of EI in Iraq and reconnaissance mission over Syria, the ten countries involved in the coalition follow different routes. Turkey, signed at the NATO summit, finally refused to participate in any operation. France, it wants to position itself at the forefront, but this time it would not depend on Americans. No question of waiting their support. The green light for the operation was given Monday by the Iraqi government. "When a country asks for military aid, it establishes the legality of the intervention, as in Mali," says an adviser. In the department, we are assured that the Middle East supporting Operation No need for resolutions, or negotiations, like Libya or Syria. "The entry into war after formalize a restricted Defence Council," says one at the Hotel de Brienne. The schedule seems perfect for Holland at the lowest polls. Tuesday's vote of confidence has to make sure his government a new legitimacy and a restricted Defence Council could provide an opportunity Thursday during his press conference to turn against the fire and announce the beginning of hostilities. A hypothesis among others. The prospect of French bombing in Iraq seems in any case become clearer by the day, Hollande find his costume warlord. For how long? "We do not know, we are told at the Hotel de Brienne, the war in Mali was shorter than expected and that in the Central longer." It also ensures that, despite their apparent caution, the Middle -orient support the operation. It remains to solve the problem of the Islamic state in Syria. François Hollande still refuses to commit an operation for fear it reinforces the regime of Bashar al Assad. Mission difficult ... Caught between his desire to fight against the Islamic state and against the regime of Bashar Assad, the French president is fighting against windmills. Monday during a lengthy interview with the crown prince of the UAE, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, Jean-Yves Le Drian advocated using the free Syrian army, like aid made to the Peshmerga in Iraq. Hard to imagine that France manages to curb the urge Americans to do battle with the IU Barak Obama promised to destroy. "It will actually be a dialogue, at least indirectly, with Bashar al-Assad for it off its air defenses," says someone close to the Defence Minister. http://www.parismatch.com/Actu/International/Aux-Emirats-Le-Drian-prepare-la-guerre-594224

The French flights over Iraq began On Monday morning, the first French military flights began over Iraq at the start of the United Arab Emirates (AFP photograph of a Rafale based Al Dhafra) . Recognition, precise does one initially. While the Paris conference on Iraq began, two Rafale took off from the base Emirati Al Dhafra. It is conveniently located about two hours flight from the war zone against the Islamic state . " As of this morning, the first reconnaissance flights will take place with the agreement of the Iraqi authorities and Emirati authorities , "said the defense minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian, on site. " Be ready to respond , "said he added to 200 750 military base in the United Arab Emirates. Six Rafale are usually based at Al Dhafra BA104. They are 3/33 Lorraine Squadron. We must add a Boeing C-135 refueling aircraft and Atlantique 2 of the Navy who did not wait to make his intelligence work and recognition. Primordial. No boots on the ground except trainers, air commandos If the official doctrine is " no boots on the ground ", it is obviously nothing. In addition to the agents of the DGSE, it takes with trainers, probably soldiers land special forces, to accompany the Kurdish peshmerga in the learning of French material. Who says next bombing, also said air or targeting support. As in the Harmattan operation in Libya in 2011, commandos and CPA10 CPA20 (paratroopers from the air), specialized in supporting engagement in depth fighter jets are on site. The ability to land quietly in Kurdish territory in Erbil facilitates this necessary deployment. These TACP (training Tactical Air Control Party ) are generally small autonomous teams of a dozen military including an operator target designation, a forward air controller, transmitter ... This is the invisible part of a bombing operation. Since late August, recall that a Group operational transport (GTO) has also been set up at Al-Dhafra for airdrops of humanitarian supplies (and weapons). This GTO is formed of two Transall C-160 NG of BA105 Evreux (Anjou and 1/64 2/64 squads Béarn). He works with a detachment of widths from 1 (RTP transportation battalion paratrooper) Francazal near Toulouse. http://defense.blogs.lavoixdunord.fr/archive/2014/09/15/les-vols-francais-au-dessus-de-l-irak-ont-commence-13333.html

OK folks Doctor Rafale is back in action this time in iraq Al-Dhafra, base for missions against EI (Updated-2) The Rafale fighter squadron 3/30 Lorraine this morning officially opened the ball of the tasks of the French hunting in Iraq. 23 years after the Jaguar Brocket, and 11 after the Mirage IVP of the UN, French jets operate in the skies of Iraq for limited missions for the moment the only recognition, as this blog had detailed on Friday . A mission could last an average of six hours, with just under half dedicated to transit. The first mission was launched this morning and revealed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs. French viewers will see the arrival in their 13 hours. Apparently, few enhancements have been made ​​with respect to the normal posture of Lorraine, already equipped with two-seater cars and, not to be able to handle a lot of situations. One tanker was sent this weekend, maybe Saturday if we are to believe local observations. An ATL-2 Navy was positioned for several weeks. If impairment of that tanker, France can booze on other than its own tankers: American, British, UAE, Saudi Arabia, the spectrum of possibilities is wide enough. Note that the military is cautious by nature of reinforcements materials, including Reco-NG pods have already been made. One of Atlas Transport Squadron 1/61 Touraine . would also be mobilized for this purpose, there are a few days the French missions in Iraq have led so far to bring 63 tons of cargo - three tonnes per release made ​​by the Transport Squadron 1/64 Beam , starting already, Al Dhafra-, most arriving by A3403/60 Esterel . http://lemamouth.blogspot.fr/2014/09/al-dhafra-base-pour-les-missions-contre.html
