CJ-7

     Notes: This is exactly as it sounds – the AMC Jeep CJ-7 produced under license in Egypt by AAV.  The basic vehicle looks almost exactly like the civilian CJ-7, complete with removable soft top and a foldable windshield, but it has been militarized by the removal of most civilian equipment or replacement with more durable items, addition of military radios, a weapon mount on a post behind the front seat, etc.  AAV built some 5500 CJ-7s for the Egyptian Army; 1000 more were built for sale to Egyptian civilians, and another 500 were made for the Omani Army.  In addition to the standard versions, two variants were built for the Egyptian Army.  One carries a double mount in the rear with a seat between them for SA-7 SAM missiles; the other carries a pallet in the rear for two Swingfire ATGM.  In the latter case, the Swingfires may be fired from within the cab, or via a remote cable connection with a sight for guiding the missiles. 

YJ-L

     Notes: This is an Egyptian modification of the Chrysler YJ Jeep.  It is mostly a basic sort of light jeep-type vehicle, but has a mount behind the front seat for a heavy machinegun or other compatible weapon, a 24-volt electrical system, an inertial land navigation system, and an auxiliary fuel tank.  This vehicle is used primarily by the Egyptian Border Patrol. Heavy-duty bumpers and tow eyes allow for sling-loading or air transport. The YJ-L can tow 3 tons. Armored versions have armor made of hot-formed steel, and take the form of a protective shell that is removable. In addition, the armored variant has a windshield, side windows, and rear window of ballistic glass. The Israelis have a variant of this armored YJ-L called the Storm 3; I have not been able to determine if this was devised with cooperation between Egypt and Israel, or if the Storm 3 is a copycat of the armored YJ-L, or if the Storm 3 is an independent development.
