In addition to the Mongolian Navy, what other landlocked countries in the world are there?

1. Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan has not had a naval establishment for a long time. The defense of the Caspian Sea region is mainly responsible for more than 4,000 maritime guards, with a total of more than ten ships. The performance of small ships manufactured in the Soviet Union and transferred from foreign countries has already seriously lagged behind. As the importance of the Caspian Sea's oil resources continues to emerge, the country has begun to attach importance to developing its navy. In 2007, the Kazakhstan military publicly stated that it would establish a capable maritime combat force in the Caspian Sea region to protect its oil and gas resources.

On February 18, 2010, the Commander-in-Chief of the Kazakhstan Armed Forces and President Nazarbayev awarded the military flag to the Navy, and the reorganization of the Kazakhstan Navy was completed. At present, the Kazakhstan Navy consists of the Caspian Sea Fleet, the Coast Artillery Force and the Marine Corps. The main military port is located in Aktau, a city on the Caspian Sea coast.

2. Turkmenistan

The background of Turkmenistan’s establishment of a navy is exactly the same as that of Kazakhstan, and it needs to safeguard its own interests in the Caspian Sea. After the end of the Cold War, the Caspian Sea was surrounded by five countries: Russia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan and Iran, of which Turkmenistan has the weakest maritime power. Today, the Turkmen Navy has 16 patrol boats, 2,000 soldiers and a joint coast guard and navy base.

3. Mongolia

Mongolia is the second largest landlocked country in the world. This country, which is thousands of kilometers away from the nearest sea, has the smallest navy in the world. Mongolia formed this navy in order to transport oil by ship through Lake Khuvsgul. Later, because Lake Khuvsgul was a famous tourist destination in Mongolia, in order to protect the environment, Mongolia stopped transporting oil by oil tankers. This navy, which is known as "three ships, two guns, and one engine" and is said to have only 7 people (jokingly called the Shichibukai by netizens) currently has only one tugboat named Sukhbaatar still in use.

4. Paraguay

Paraguay is a landlocked country in South America. Part of its borders with Brazil and Argentina are divided along rivers. The troops patrolling the border rivers are called navies. According to data, Paraguay has nearly 3,000 naval officers and more than 40 ships of various types, making it a powerful inland navy.

5. Bolivia

Bolivia, also a landlocked country, has a deep attachment to the ocean. It not only has a naval force of more than 3,600 people and a Marine Corps of 500 people, but also There is also its own unique "Navy Day". On every "Navy Day", Bolivia holds a grand military parade. Some small warships will be decorated, loaded onto trailers, formed into a procession, and passed through the square in La Paz, the capital, amid flowers and colorful flags, to be reviewed by national leaders and people. On the streets of Bolivian cities, slogans saying “Bolivians demand access to the sea” can be seen everywhere.

6, Austria

Due to Austria's strict neutrality and budget restrictions, the Austrian river fleet after World War II was very small, only possessing some equipment of the Army Engineering Corps. In 1968, a patrol boat squadron was established, with the miniature 40-foot patrol boat "Oberst Brecht" (A601) and an old self-propelled barge nicknamed "the flatbed". Later, an armed patrol boat was built. "Niederosterreich" number. In addition, there are several German-built "M-boot 80" motor boats.

7, Hungary

Hungary’s naval vessels are mainly composed of a certain number of mine warfare vessels, which are responsible for inland river patrol missions. Hungary was a European naval power during the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but now both Austria and Hungary can only paddle in the river.

8. Switzerland

The Swiss navy is a symbol that this country has a full range of three-dimensional military power. In addition, Czechoslovakia, the predecessor of the two countries, also had a navy, and there is a joke related to it that is widely circulated on the Internet.
