Indonesia acquired 12 OV-10Fs, essentially refurbished OV-10As. The Indonesian military has used OV-10s for fighting rebels in East Timor, which has occasionally raised protests by human-rights groups who claim that the targets are usually unarmed civilians. (In our experience, the background facts these groups present concerning the OV-10s in connection with this issue are generally wildly inaccurate, however.) Unfortunately, there appears to not be very much accurate information available concerning Indonesia's OV-10s or the use of them, at least when compared to the information available about most other operators. We do know that they have replaced the standard four 7.62mm M60C's with four (much more powerful) 12.7mm M2 Browning 50-Caliber machine guns.
