"Typically, a surface-to-air missile, if it's a fixed defense system, is going to have a range of several miles. It might have a range of a couple dozen miles, but that's about it," Pike said.

That's a pretty vague statement regarding SAMs. SAMs could be strategic SAMs at permanent or semi-permanent sites. They could be mobile, tactical SAMs on wheeled or tracked platforms. They could also be shoulder-launched MANPADS. All of these have different uses and ranges.

In this case, Hugo wants to buy Tor-M1s. These are SA-15s. They are mobile, short range SAMs.
