10-20 seconds flight time at longer ranges... that's quite a lot of time
to 
react. If you can hide behind a terrain mask or distract the ATGM crew 
(usually by firing every weapon at your disposal at them), evasive 
maneuvers often work - if the missile is crew-guided.

Fire-and-forget missiles are harder to evade though :-/
