Delta-IIIs are old and should not operate outside of the Bastions in my opinion.
So refitting Delta-IIIs in conventional role is a bad idea IMO.
949AMs are getting UKSK equivalent launcher with 72 cells/sub. Currently this means the capability to employ Yahont/Oniks series AShMs and Kalibr series LAMs. Yahont/Oniks have a confirmed land attack capability (Bastions were used against land based targets in Syria), in future they are likely to receive Zircon hypersonic AShMs just like the other UKSK patern launchers.
