They still would get Mogami class as medium/multi purpose working horse Frigate though, Escort for the heavier class of FREMM and Itver Huitveld class along with lighter Frigates and Corvettes we already had.
People tends to forget Iver Huitfeldt deal.
The need to buy from abroad arisen due to the urgent needs.
This was the first proposal from the Japanese last year. It might have changed now under the "joint development" or "joint production" status that Japan had to take in order to stay within their "Three Principles on Transfer of Defense Equipment and Technology" policy.But if you remember the Mogami deal news, it's stated that out of 8 warships only 4 that will be built by MHI, the remaining 4 will be built by PT PAL afterwards.
i see..so can we say poseidon will not come fo the moment mado?Still need more high end hull to build proper three fleets command unit (Indonesian Navy had three Fleets, in which the third fleet is only skeleton unit without any meaningful assets). That's why they need at least 18 larger surface combatant warships to properly build up 3 fleets according to 2-2-2 rules (two in active service, two in maintenance routine or stand by and two in heavy maintenance). Meanwhile according the plan they would be supplement by several smaller Frigates/Corvettes/OPV (most would be as replacement of Parchim class) but the plan is delayed further as they put priority toward the Heavy vessels first. The other delayed plan is utility helicopters, ASW helicopters and ASW Aircraft for the Navy. As the Navy is intended to build the surface combatant warships fleets and the silent service first as it was the most time consuming ones to be built and train the crew.

Isn't Poseidon supposed to be for the Air Force?i see..so can we say poseidon will not come fo the moment mado?
i don't think so....IMO still supposed to be Navy had to operate it....well if the purchased of heavy surface combatant ( with massive number ) was the priority make sense if some ASW chooper or aircraft was delayed/postponeIsn't Poseidon supposed to be for the Air Force?
It likely is.I suddenly remember this AH guy tweet a month ago. Probably unrelated, I don't know

What would we classify our FREMM (General purpose or AAW)?Escort for the heavier class of FREMM and Itver Huitveld class along with lighter Frigates and Corvettes we already had.

pengawal perusak rudal (missile destroyer escort)
Guided missile destroyer.
Italy’s Leonardo will work on the Indonesian FREMMs, the statement said, likely meaning the firm will supply the combat system.
