The LAF has been trying to expedite arms deals and deliveries due to the risk of an eruption of another battle with ISIS and Nusra Front. Deals such as the 3 US Billion French-Saudi-Lebanese arming agreement and the Russian 500 US million have been struck by long delivery terms for some important equipment, which have either led to opting for a (older) lesser capability alternative (already available in stock) or totally not including that type of equipment in the list (i.e. Tanks in the French deal).
To ensure acquiring decent equipment with money readily available in the hands (which is not always the case), the LAF can opt to acquire the more advanced, longer delivery terms, equipment, and as part of the same contract lease equipment available in stock until actual deliveries are made. This approach has been done by several countries and it would ensure that the "valuable" fund has been used for a good value.
