They can, but that would be sort of dumb.

Even a Marine aviator would know that trying the defeat a heat-seeking missile by lighting up their after burners to go faster and making a big, giant heat source hotter and then dropping flares to fool the missile probably won't work.

Just a note.

Those flares aren't very expensive, so if it was a photo op, it was a cheap one

$500.00 worth of flares, starring a $40 million aircraft for the Hornet, around $68 million for a Rhino.

Plus fuel.

Harrier cockpit, and a  recent one.

Not an AV-8B.

Harrier.

Both retired from service and replaced by the  F-35B.

British.

The British have used the ski jump for sea-born aircraft for the last 50 years.

They really did not have a carrier-based fighter or attack aircraft other than the Harrier and they still don't.

They do have the Tornado, a most-awesome aircraft, but land-based.
