This is really cool!
These are actually "decoy flares." A (decoy) flare is an aerial infrared countermeasure to counter an infrared homing (”heat seeking”) surface-to-air missile (SAM) or air-to-air missile (AAM). The aim is to make the infrared-guided missile seek out the heat signature from the flare rather than the aircraft’s engines. (Source: Wikipedia)
