Team : Hawk Republic # BMP-3M Arena Role : Infantry Fighting Vehicle ## [General information](/md/rv/vehicles/bmp-3m-arena.md#general-information) Description : The **BMP-3M Arena** is an Infantry Fighting Vehicle and a modernized variant of the Soviet [BMP-3](/md/rv/vehicles/bmp-3-2017.md), with improved optics and the **Arena** active protection system. The base BMP-3 entered service in the late 1980s and was notable for its combination of a 100 mm gun/launcher, 30 mm autocannon, and troop capacity in a single turret. The M upgrade retains the 18.7 t tracked, amphibious hull (70 km/h, 4 km/h afloat) and **UTD-29** diesel (500 hp, 26.7 hp/t), with a crew of three and six passengers. Main armament is the **100mm 2A70M** (ATGM and HE) and **30mm 2A72** autocannon plus **7.62mm PKT**, with stabilizer, laser rangefinder, FCS with lead and tracking, Gen 2 thermals, and a missile approach warning system. Arena APS provides 34 launchers for intercepting incoming projectiles (70–1,000 m/s); the vehicle also has smoke grenades and an engine smoke system.
