  1. That means they are 40 minutes away.  "Mike" is the phonetic alphabet for "M".  It's a shorthand and clear way to describe minutes.  

    "Mike-mike" is similarly short for "millimeter".  As in "57 mike mike triple A"= 57mm antiaircraft fire.


  2. Minute

  3. A "mike" is radio short hand for Minute.  Just like Klicks is short hand for Kilometer.

    This line means the unit/individual is 40 Minutes out/away from their destination.
