Armored hull equipped with dynamic protection and modern MDW pro-tective means, protects the crew: commander, driver and 5 paratroopers. APC is equipped with the 2A42 30mm automatic gun and launching device for the anti-tank missiles "Konkurs" or "Kornet", also it can be equipped with different gun and rocket weapon complexes according to the customer's order. Fighting compartment has 5 comfortable seats for the paratroopers. Para-troopers leave the compartment through the 2 top armored hatches, which can be installed vertically providing armored screen while leaving the vehicle or placing the paratroopers outside on the vehicle. At the mass of 38.5 tons, the speed of H - APC is up to 50 km/h. rbs.ru BMP3M (BMP-4) Basically the up-armored variant of BMP3. ERA is claimed to stop up to 30mm cannon hits, better protection against HEAT, it has Shtora+ARENA, 100mm main gun with option of firing Arkan ATGM.

PDFF Admin Support Posts: 7,083 Group: PDFF Admin Group Member #2 Joined: July 9, 2004	The BMP-3M is a great improvement over the previous 3 variants, the changes brought about by the Russian Army's experiences in Chechnya. In addition to the extra thick ERA blocks, the 3M also has the Arena active defense system where onboard sensors detect incoming rounds and launch up to 10 projectiles to intercept the enemy shots. Pretty neat, and for a price of $500K a copy, the 3M is a good alternative to brandnew Western-made IFVs. And it is air-conditioned too...
