It's doable but Azerbaijan would have to pay for the cost of integration and testing. If they do so, they will have semi-subsidized the cost for the PAF too, so the PAF can also embrace that option. @Oscar

I think we don’t have anything pointing out to turkish avionics.
The translation seems too vague to refer to what electronics are being referred to.

Yep. The only variable I think is SOM integration (as Azerbaijan is now a user of that ALCM), but I don't believe that requires any integration to the radar or something proprietary to the Turks. And even if it does, it's unlikely to be a big thing outside of a comparatively minor subsystem switch.

At this point I think all negotiations rest on preliminary demonstrations and not concrete RFQ’s.
