Well, I hate to defend Reuters, but it could be that you’re reading the captions too literally — it’s possible that the caption writer is not referring to the flares in the photos, but rather to ordnance the aircraft fired or dropped prior to the photo being snapped.
Granted the average reader might draw the conclusion you did, so at the very least Reuters is guilty of sloppiness and a lack of clarity.
