If am not sure Syria can "buy" much of anything given her six years or so of a very bitter anti-insurgency war. Really, it is remarkable the army has not folded years ago, rather than remain resilient with a large compliment of Christian, Druze, and Sunni Muslims within her professional officers. Syria manages to "pay" her army yet she has had little of any control over her gas and oil fields.

So, then it could be that part of the deal is that Syria is "buying" the vehicle via an exchange of rights to gas and oil.
