英国海军第815飞行中队（815NAS）一架随“里士满”号护卫舰部署印度洋的“山猫”直升机在训练中释放热焰弹。（The Lynx helicopter from 815 Squadron, Royal Naval Air Station Yeovilton, lit up the night sky with her decoy flares as part of an exercise in the Indian Ocean. The helicopter is on a nine-month deployment to the Gulf with HMS Richmond – a Portsmouth-based Type 23 frigate which is silhouetted in the background. Decoy flares – or Infra Red Counter Measures – attract heat-seeking missiles, drawing them away from the helicopter’s engines and onto a much hotter target. HMS Richmond’s primary tasking in the Indian Ocean has been as part of Combined Maritime Forces Combined Task Force 150. Their mission is to promote maritime security in order to counter terrorist activity and other illegal activities.）

2013年9月19日，英国汉普郡朴茨茅斯，英国海军第815海军飞行中队的“山猫”HMA8 直升机飞越“勇敢”号45型防空驱逐舰上空时释放热焰弹，这张照片是2014英国海军年度摄影大赛获奖作品。（HMS Dragon's Lynx helicopter fires infra red flares during an exercise over the Type 45 destroyer. As well as flying her own Lynx helicopter - of 815 Naval Air Squadron based in Yeovilton - Dragon has been flexing muscle as part of joint training with Typhoons from her affiliated 6 Squadron RAF. Holding various flying exercises with 11 Squadron, based at RAF Conningsby, and Boeing E3-Ds from 8 Squadron based at RAF Waddington, Dragon also exchanged personnel for the RAF to experience life on a ship and vice versa.）
