Do landlocked countries need navies? Why?

This? Navy? To be exact, it should be a quotation, or? The surface guard? Generally speaking, it is necessary to protect part of the territory within the country or cover its own area. Among them, two countries are the most widely known, one is our adopted son Mongolia, and the other is called possession? The strongest navy in Central Asia? Kazakhstan, today I want to introduce these two countries to you.

We are all familiar with Mongolia. Mongolia navy is the smallest naval force in landlocked countries, and its main duty is to protect its internal lakes (hehe). According to Wikipedia data of 20 10, all the possessions of mongolia navy include 3 ships, 2 cannons, 1 engine and 7 crew members. And there are only three boats? Sukhbaatar? Tugboats can be launched to perform tasks in the Kusugur Lake area. Apart from transporting goods, mongolia navy has no military action on weekdays. ? Sukhbaatar? Our captain has never seen the sea.

Due to the early financial crisis, the Mongolian government privatized the navy in 1997, so sukhbaatar had to rely on commercial activities such as transporting local wool, leather or other goods to Russia for sale to supplement the daily operation of the ship.

In fact, we have discussed the question of why Mongolia must have a navy many times. It is clear that as a sovereign country, a sound army is the foundation, and we can understand it fundamentally.

In addition, Kazakhstan also has a well-equipped Marine Corps brigade, which is obviously enough to maintain its military superiority in the Caspian Sea, and their training still continues the traditional black naval uniform in the Soviet era. Therefore, landlocked countries have their own considerations on how to define the navy, and the existence of the navy in order to compete for rights is the most direct purpose.

For example, mongolia navy, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, the smallest naval forces in the world, all have navies because they compete for oil in the Caspian Sea; There are more than 40 ships in Paraguay, a landlocked country in South America; Three of the eight landlocked countries in Europe have navies: Switzerland, Austria and Hungary. Most of these countries set up navies in order to have the right to speak on international sovereignty issues.
