I'd guess the answer to "when is an enemy missile heading towards me" would usually be "shortly after you turn on your radar transmitter and reveal your location"...

That was in the past. Even if you don't turn your radar on, in IR cameras widespread today your engines are visible from tens of kilometers, and without your radar on the missile comes to you without you being aware of it.
