Well, since in LWAMI it's MAD detonator has only a 250 m. range you have about 1 and half a minute to clear that space (with a movement normal to the Shkval vector)... Maybe still quite feasible at flank speed if you keep your head (but then you have made a lot of noise in the region and more evil will arrive)...

Well, I don't think is so simple... you sill have to consider the tactical situation, ranges in play, SSP, sensors and baffle areas as well as initial intelligence for the platforms and relative speeds...
