2 months ago these suggestions dont really make sense - egypt isnt going to make trucks or make rifles from the 50's (which are based on a 1942 rifle from sweden that they only got a lisence to much later) in the 1930's Egypt just doesnt have the ability to manufacture and research equipment at scale at this point
Describe the specific change you would like: A variant of the AG Pelo should be Egypt's standard-issue rifle in 1939 as Germany would not continue to supply Egypt when the war in the desert breaks out. It should fall under the name of the Hakim Rifle, another OTL rifle. The description of the rifle would mean that Egypt would probably reject it during testing since it would be too unreliable to fight effectively in the desert.
The Rasheed Carbine should replace the FN-43 since it is a locally sourced rifle based upon acquired foreign rifles. Flanders-Wallonia would probably not supply any rifles to Egypt by the time they go to war with the Ottomans. It should be called the Baghdad Carbine in Iraqi service
The Nasr model 1355 (Solar Hijri year, fictional) should replace the Opel Blitz as foreign motor companies set up in Egypt at the time and Egypt would probably have a domestic base of production for motor vehicles.
The Oerlikon 20 mm cannon should replace the 1940 AA for Egypt since Egypt would not be able to acquire German technology by 1940 and because Switzerland would be a neutral source.
Replace the 1934 AA with the QF 2-pounder naval gun since it was in service when Egypt gained independence and they would have likely acquired some examples with the British departure.
Replace the 1940 AA with the Bofors 40 mm L/60 gun since it would be from a neutral source.
Replace the 1943 AA with the Solothurn ST-5 since it would be from a neutral source.
Tank names: Weltkrieg: Al-Shahid 1934 light: Al-Khalid 1936 light: Al-Adil 1941 light: Al-Siddiq
1938 medium: Ibrahim Pasha 1940 medium: Ismail Pasha 1943 medium: Muhammad Ali Pasha
1934 heavy: Al-Fārūq 1940 heavy: Harun al-Rashid 1943 heavy: Abu Ubayda
Modern tank: Salah al-Din Super heavy: Uthman
Explain the reasoning behind this actionable change: Resourcing Egyptian equipment so that it is not German anymore and so that it uses more locally-sourced equipment.
