So from the information taken from Prabowo Subianto and DI Director in above CN 235 and some anti submarine helicopters delivery ceremony, Indonesian IFX prototype roll out is expected to happen in the next couple of months and the first flight of Indonesian IFX prototype is planned to be done in 2023 based on current schedule.
From the information I gather from the KFX/IFX engineer that I know personally, Indonesia will get fifth prototype and it is single seater. The testing will be conducted in South Korea and the prototype will be delivered to Indonesian Aerospace (PT DI) in late 2026 or beginning of 2027, after the plane get type certificate (completion of development for KF21/IFX block 1). There will be another batch of Indonesian engineers being send to South Korea this year.
After Indonesian engineers contributes in design phase that is started in 2011 where DAPA Korea said there were 114 Indonesian design engineers in Korea during the peak of design phase in September 2019, Indonesian engineers in production division will now get the experience and knowledge in fighter jet testing and production, while all the design engineers who have come back after the design has been completed and now are staying in Indonesia will study the testing data to see the plane performance in real flight. From previous information that we know, all of the testing data will be shared to Indonesian Aerospace.

"Despite such a delay in payment, the Indonesian side has continued to send its researchers to South Korea to take part in the development process," Rep. Kim Joong-ro of the minor opposition Bareunmirae Party said during a parliamentary audit into the administration, voicing concern about technology leaks.
As of July, 114 Indonesian engineers were sent to South Korea to work with Korea Aerospace Industries Co. (KAI), the country's sole aircraft manufacturer, to design and make a prototype of the fighter, according to a DAPA official.

KFX / IFX program continued , Government Asked to Immediately Selecting Design
"Program KFX / IFX is a multi - program years , costly, and involve various sectors and foreign partners. For that there must be a definite declaration on it goes. For Indonesia it is important to determine the financing schemes and their human resources planning, "said Dr Rais Zain, M. Eng , KFX / IFX Configuration Design Leader for Angkasa , in late January.
"In the near future Indonesia will also work on the N219 and R - 80. We do not have enough engineers to work three programs, especially KFX / IFX will take place until the 2020s. The government is expected to call home engineers who are now working abroad to come help the regeneration process. Outside there are approximately 200 people . If half of it can be returned to the country, it is enough to help, " added Rais who is also a lecturer at the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering ITB, Bandung.
