How agile are those missiles? The agility of the missile, the guidance system, and the effectiveness of the IR sensor will play more part in being a threat than the speed of the missile.
Doesn't matter if your missile is going Mach 20, if it can't pull hard enough to follow a target in a break, or loses acquisition because the target turned in a different direction.
