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.
