ISKANDER-M (9K720 Iskander (Russian: Искандер) development and deployment

2 more on a reload truck. Each launcher gets one reload truck deployed with it.
But it's plausible there is either some central storage for additional misssiles. Or brigades themselves have additional storage depo somewhere.
 
On the basis that the Iskander-M is 4 times the volume of an ATACMS and has 3x the warhead, it's more likely that it costs twice as much than half as much.

Thank you! The bold+italic sentence is what I was looking for, I'd be shocked if there wasn't additional storage space for missiles somewhere that isn't part of the battery.
 
By the way

To increase the rating of these missiles, Forbes chose the following estimates: the cost of the X-101 missiles is $13 million, Kalibr is $6.5 million, Iskander is $3 million, Onyx is $1.25 million, X-22 is $1 million, Tochka-U is $0.3 millions

there are generally ridiculous data here, the cost of Onyx is known - 1.2 million dollars, almost guessed it, export Brahmos - 5.4 million dollars
The cost of the Caliber is 0.5 million dollars, and the X-555 is also estimated. The X-101 is obviously more expensive, let's say about 1 million dollars
 
Of course, the longer range of the Iskander-M would allow it to reach targets deep within enemy territory, and given that Russia, following the United States, withdrew from the INF Treaty and that adherence to its restrictions no longer made sense, it is not surprising that a version is under development "Iskander-M," which, according to open sources, has been named OTRK "Iskander-1000". The flight range of the Iskander-1000 OTRK missile will be 1,000 to 1,300 kilometers, depending on the type of warhead, while the speed and altitude of its flight trajectory should be comparable to the parameters of the hypersonic missile 9-S-7760 Kinzhal.
According to open sources, an increase in the missile's range and speed was achieved through the use of a new, more energy-intensive fuel, while simultaneously increasing its volume by about 10 to 15% and reducing the mass of the warhead to 300 kilograms. A maximum range of 1,300 kilometers can be achieved for a warhead with an even smaller mass - about 200 kilograms; it can be assumed that this will be a special warhead (SCU). In the final stage of flight, the Iskander-1000 missile is expected to be capable of performing anti-air maneuvers with an overload of about 25 to 30 g. In addition, it can be assumed that the Iskander-1000 OTRK missile should be equipped with onboard self-defense means, particularly an electronic warfare (EW) complex, as well as dipole firing means and thermal traps.
