The article implies that the flares were being used as a visual warning.
Could be, but they’re going to “see” each other well beyond visual range on radar.

The Russian fighters probably didn’t see the Raptors. Maybe a couple of seagulls.

The F-22s might not have been in visual range and may not have appeared in the Russians' radar.
That said, I would think any pilot detecting a possible enemy firing flares would think that engagement is imminent.
