This is a patently false information, some
dozen of millions is not for a single launcher but for a whole battery both of Панцирь and Тор.
This appear like the question of the price of пр. 885 Ясень, that foreign and fifth column internal media named at 3,5 billion each when the figure was for five subamrines.
In substance Рособоронэкспорт report the deal for a "complex" Тор,
that is a battery (usually of 6 vehicles) including service and tansloader vehicles, surveillance radars and several restock of missiles.
All of that cost less than a late model F-16 !!!
Lately Minister of Defence of self-proclaimed Artsakh Republic ,defending the acquisition by part of Armenia of ex Jordanian 35 Оса-АКМs for 27 ml dollars (a part of which they received) saying that a latest export Тор launcher was priced a bit more than 5 ml dollar each and ,therefore, Armenia do not had necessary resources for they mass acquisition and possible sharing of a a part of them for Artsakh's defense.
Naturally Azerbaijan had no problem in paying 8 ml dollar each of its TB2 Bayraktar UCAVs or over 10 ml dollars for each Harop suicide drone …….several of both of them they have lost against the few 770 thousands dollars Оса-АКМs present in nothern Artsakh and that would have been massacrated if it weas present even only a single working battery of Тор in the same area…..
Those false informations about prices of domestic air defenses are absolutely necessary for western disinformation campaign because otherwise the crushing difference in cost efficiency would render injustifiable the costs of theirs aircraft, UAVs and airborne weapons.
