Here's a (badly translated) link on Egyptian production of reverse-engineered D-30s, ZU-23-2s and M-46 130mm guns and the ammunition (basic HE, AP, HEAT, smoke and illum) for them.

Egypt also manufactured small arms, 82mm and 120mm mortars, grenades, land and naval mines, radios, radars and bombs. The Helwan plant assembled M1 tanks from kits received from the US (gradually adding more locally sourced parts); as the war goes on that assembly line becomes the primary source of replacement tanks and spares for CENTCOM.

I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end...
