The Egyptians have been accumulating the know-how and hardware from the US since 1978 JUST FOR THIS FINAL END.

The islamists threw much of the know-how away when they overthrew the Mubarak government. I think now they may be making the classic arab mistake of equating advanced hardware with the knowledge of how to use it.

"The Egyptians have been accumulating the know-how and hardware from the US...."

Egypt (like her Arab brothers) have abysmal maintenance practices - tanks, planes, missle systems - just having them is a far cry from maintaining them in a readiness condition.
