I have the same question too.
Our LPD and Philippines SSV have small boat / LCU although without cabin/bridge like this one.
When in Indonesia, do as Indonesian do. That is just how it is, just accept it.
At least they could get a RCWS though, but consider this one as a "prototype", although it is not exactly one. They will test this through their way of operation.
Just a placeholder. They wouldn't want to receive it bare-handed. I hope the real weaponry would be stealth 40 or 57 mm.
Atleast for ceremonial purpose as combatant vessel, it will be no different than earthrace 2 without that gun
Above the bridge? Is there enough room for that?
that's actually a good presentation for our Makassar class derivative design, those ambulance vessels some other times can be reconfigured as USV, and our Makassar can also have derivative role as USV mothership like the singaporean MRCV.
less armed than Antasena then ......
Ffbnw?

If we buy 30FFM and there is plan to build it in Indonesia, I think that Indonesia don't need to rush about the deal and can take it slowly, AH140 and FREMM is still in queue to be build in PAL facility, considering that these 3 ship is quite large I wonder if PAL can build it in paralel (bener2 dibangun bareng2 jejer2an gak nyicil dulu nunggu yang 1 selese.)According to this article a MHI sale team have been in Jakarta since last year.
Excerpts.
"The same applies to a separate deal with Japan, which had a sales team ensconced in Jakarta for much of last year seeking to sell the Indonesians eight stealthy Mogami-class multi-mission frigates at an overall cost of $3.6 billion.
Under a provisional plan, Mitsubishi and Mitsui were to deliver four of the 5,000-tonne vessels, beginning in late 2023, and for the other four to be built by PAL in what would have been the biggest-ever arms deal between the two countries."
