I seriously doubt Indonesia will ever buy FC-31, do you realise that China mostly will be a threat to indonesia rather than Australia, India or even the united states, and if we are talking about 5th gen fighter, if we can't buy F-35 there's still pakfa on the table.In 18 years a 5th gen one in the size of a KFX..inll not much... only one tbh who can be available for sell on the market...the FC-31. ( and This one will be available in few years.)
As for Rafale and F-16... Well F-16 can do the job...but the Rafale can do it better ( an almost perfect balance btw a F-16 and Su-35) and it's a younger platform with incoming upgrade packs ( and already complet package with AESA etc...) while F-16 is at his end.
F-16 < KFX
SU27-30 < PAK FA
It's still use the same recipe of mixed western and Russian hardware
