We all "have our moments".
Somewhere behind the facade of "guru" there lurks a real person.
Well...I think Don is real...you can never be sure about a Canuck.

As to my questions you did answer #2 pretty thoroughly.
I sort of assumed they'd probably go exclusively Excalibur but one can never be sure when politicians are involved.

This next provides a situational update on Ukraine as well and more importantly weapons/ammo load data on the TOS-1 and TOS-1A that we might not have. Note the picture at the bottom of a post launch from a TOS-1A (Which is in the foreground slightly off center to the right of the picture,) I see it as a two rocket launch and very nasty.

From the article...
"The TOS-1 is often referred to by Russia as a heavy flamethrower, although it actually fires short-range (3,500 m) 220mm rockets armed with thermobaric warheads. The TOS-1 is based on a T-72 main battle tank (MBT) chassis and can mount 30 missiles. An upgraded version, the TOS-1A, features an improved rocket with an extended range out to 6,000 m and mounts 24 missiles."
