A-10 was taking (or detecting) fire from ground, so it dropped the anti-aircraft flares.

"A-10 was taking (or detecting) fire from ground, so it dropped the anti-aircraft flares."

It's normal for the A-10 to lay down flares during a straffing run. By the time the pilot realizes a missle has been launch at him it would be to late to react.
