Why does Egypt need 750 tanks with this quality of ammo?

well, it's not like they attacked Israel in 1956, 1967 (or were planning to), or in 1973 ...

oh wait ... (I'm sure you're already aware) ...

I think Egypt was one of those that attacked Israel in 1948 too, within 24 hours of the "birth" of the nation ...

You've got to remember that those Egyptian tanks would have to tool about a thousand plus miles across the hellish wasteland of the Sinai getting pulverized by the IDF air force before they ever had a chance to get within cannon range of Israel.

The Sinai is littered with the carcasses of the Egyptian tanks from all their other attacks against Israel. The Egyptians would just be adding new tanks to the same graveyard.

The Aswan High Dam, opened in 1970, holds enough water to wash about 50,000,000 Egyptians into the Med with the help of an Israeli bombing. Egypt knows that, too.
