The Soviet Union hoped to expand its sphere of influence in the Middle East. The Soviets knew that because of Islam, communism would never take hold there. However, with that said, they sought influence there and wanted to remove Western influence.

What was the soviet unions main motivation for providing military support to Egypt during the Suez canal crisis?

It did not provide military report during the conflict, but it had sold arms to Egypt prior to the conflict when the USA had refused to do so. The Soviet Union provided however forceful political support to Egypt. The reason for this was that the Soviet Union at this time was trying to expand its political influence in the Arab world. After the USSR's succesful intervention (the USA had by the way fought equally hard to stop the English/French invasion by putting strong political pressure on these countries) the Soviet Union did indeed gain much clout in the Arab world.
