History
Class: Infantry Fighting Vehicle Developed: 1990s Service: 1999+ Vehicles Built: cca 200 Operators: Russia, Venezuela, Azerbaijan The BMP-3M variant was a late 1990s attempt at a major modernization of the BMP-3 that included a more powerful engine, a better FCS and improved gun-launched ATGMs. Other improvements included the option to install the Arena-E hard-kill APS. An unknown number of these vehicles was built for both the Russian Federation and for export but the production run was likely limited. It&#39;s worth noting that there are several vehicles with the BMP-3M designation (including the Derivatsiya and the Dragun) and even usually reliable sources often contradict each other. The actual number of users and produced vehicles is therefore unknown.
