Huh? Why it's the only?
The notion of smaller aircraft carrier.

With the introduction of F-35B everyone start planning to go smaller, ie the US Navy new doctrine (Future Carrier 2030) contend that smaller carrier will be the future. It reduced risk and more ships/carrier can be built due to lower cost.

TNI-AL could leapfrog into this doctrine, and build its first carrier with half the cost of existing/available carrier (ie Charles De Gaulle etc). And most importantly, it is affordable for our budget.

It’s a plausible scenario that Prabowo want to have an aircraft carrier. That’s the only logical reason why he still pursuing the F-35. However, if he can’t get the F-35, he will opt to use Rafale M instead.

He will make every formilers dream come true.
Ask the Korean to develop marine KF-21 then (with folded wing like F-18), they also have plan on building their own aircraft carrier :)

Ughh...
S korea now moving forward with aircraft carrier, and their current naval assets is very good. So does the Japanese.

I hope there is no talks in Jakarta about buying aircraft carrier in the next 20 years, and focus on modernization. More modern surface combatant and submarine should be priority, and also support and auxiliary ship.

We don't have enough assets to Escort such high end value Capital ships, nor our logistic capability is satisfied enough to cope with the growing challenge

The real big rafale con for me is No JHMCS, They said gonna implement it to F4 but we don't they gonna do it for real or not.

India use Elbit JHMCS btw. I hope that's mean MICA is compatible with JHMCS.

She is testing the water .... Aiming post 2024 . And whatever position or " bussines opportunity " it might land to her should opportunity do arise . Remember , before all of this J-10 debacle and catapulting into the limelight . she is kind of hardcore anti mainland hardware and influence .

Politics and profits are sure for making a strange bedfellow huh ??
