I didn't realize Azerbaijan still had that spending power. They do not have oil money anymore, that dried up. They have been in a persistent indirect war with Russia and Armenia in Nagorno-Karabakh (landlocked post-soviet frozen conflict zone in their county) for decades, which keeps ramping up. Azerbaijan recently bought several billion in missile defence systems from Israel.

Where is that money coming from?

(Sauce: me being Ukraine and Russia in MP and researching the shit out of this)
