If your talking about commercial planes they don't. You know about it when it hits you. If your talking fighter jets they either use flares or sonic disruptors or they turn of their radar. Even so these are very rare experiences so don't fret about them.
The majority of military aircraft are equipped with either infrared flares for use against heat-seeking anti-aircraft weapons, chaff for use against radar guided anti-aircraft weapons or electronic countermeasures to deceive radar, infrared or laser guided anti-aircraft weapons.
Small and maneuverable aircraft, such as fighter jets can combine deploying countermeasures with air combat maneuvers to help deceive on-coming missiles and improve survivability.

Can supersonic aircraft dodge from missiles?
The answer is yes. Supersonic aircraft can dodge from missiles. No one is going to say this is going to easy to shoot down supersonic planes. They travel at high speed making it very difficult to destroy these planes in the air. Lots of supersonic aircraft have radar that allows them to know that there is a missile become from behind them, they also heat up their anti-missile flares to get ready to dodge. This also allows them to intercept missiles to help them dodge. Some of these planes might carry weapons and can destroy anti-aircraft missile launchers.
What are some ways of involvement that the US had in Afghanistan during the cold war?
