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.

Im aware the Delta III are old but still have a little use in them, you guys did alright with the yankee conversions and they were old ! and it is interesting about Zircon missiles so this means there is a definite ok from the kremlin to get this going ?
