It's a stretch to say that they were aligned with the Soviet Union - after the Yom Kippur War, Egypt actually aligned itself with the United States. But they were a Soviet client state because the Soviet Union decided to back the Arab militaries, as opposed to the United States, which backed Israel. But there was no actual alliance between Egypt and the Soviet Union, and neither one had any obligation to defend the other in the event of a war.

During the Cold War, Egypt attracted the interest of superpowers due to its strategic location, controlling the Suez Canal, a crucial trade route for oil and military movement. Additionally, Egypt's leadership under President Gamal Abdel Nasser promoted pan-Arabism and sought to resist Western imperialism, making it a focal point for both the Soviet Union and the United States in their efforts to gain influence in the Middle East. The country's potential as a leader of non-aligned nations further heightened its significance in global geopolitics during this period.
