The Innlay Tactical Jeep, commonly called the Innlay Jeep (Burmese: အင်းလေးဂျစ်), is a 4x4 off-road vehicle designed and manufactured by Tatmadaw Heavy Industry. Currently, the production capacity is 200 units annually. Later will increase to 1000 units per annual.[1]

The Innlay Jeeps are only issued to Tatmadaw and Myanmar Police Force.

History[edit]

In 2016, Tatmadaw took over automobile industries from Ministry of Industry (Myanmar). Those factories were halted operations due to various reasons by government before transfer to Tatmadaw.[1]

The axles for Innlay are produced from Tatmadaw Heavy Industry (Myingyan) and gearboxes are from Tatmadaw Heavy Industry (Magway).[2] The final assembly is done by Tatmadaw Heavy Industry (Htonbo).[3] Htonbo factory assembled Mazda Pathfinder XV-1 since 1970.

The engine looks like DCD Engine (CY 499 Ti) produced from No (14) Heavy Industry (Thagaya) under Ministry of Industry (Myanmar).[4] But the factory was suspended its operation in 2017 due to financial losses. So the Tatmadaw imported engines from China. The imported engine is Dongfeng CYQD80-E4 which is in turn a copy of Nissan QD32. This vehicle is based upon ZX Admiral pickup trucks.[5]

Variants[edit]

The Innlay is manufactured in a short wheelbase version with a canvas roof and a pair of large folding benches in the rear. This variant is mainly issued to high-ranking officers.

A Type 63 multiple rocket launcher mounted variant and rocket pod mounted variant were seen at the 76th Anniversary Armed Forces Day parade.
