That’s one of their little paradoxes. They want the high tech military hardware, but they refuse to adapt to either using it properly, training with it, or maintaining it.

When the Mullahs took over Iran, one of the first things they did was to purge the competent Zoroastrian-led military leaders and replace them with politically correct but incompetent Imam-generals. They had no idea how all the modern equipment worked, so they decided to fight Saddam with techniques known back in Koranic times, like the human wave attack.

Not particularly effective against mechanized armor.

In any event, I suspect the eventual outcome in Egypt will be a military junta, active martial law, with most crimes punishable by death.

I agree with you, and it seems a bit funny to be thinking that would be the best possible outcome, but for those people, it probably is.
