The Mongolian Navy has no battleships. Is it really only seven people and one Sukhbaatar?

Many people always think that only countries near the sea have navies. In fact, this is not the case. Dozens of landlocked countries around the world have also established naval forces, and Mongolia in Asia has the smallest navy in the world. So How small is the Mongolian navy and how many people does it have?

Mongolia is the second largest landlocked country in the world. This country far away from the sea has a navy, which is actually surprising. As of 2010, the Mongolian navy has three ships, two guns, and one engine, and 7 crew members. ?

Two of the ships are said to have been damaged, and only one tug named ?Sukhbaatar? is in use. It is an old Russian tugboat that mainly performs operations in the Kusugur Lake area. The ship is responsible for transporting locally produced wool and leather to Russia for sale. This ship has no military operations all year round, and even the captain has never seen the sea.

In fact, it is a sea rather than a small merchant fleet. It is said that the Mongolian national government has never funded this so-called "navy" and has faced the crisis of disbandment many times. Fortunately, they are large enough. With their perseverance, they transported some oil or other commodities by ship in Lake Khuvsgul in exchange for fees, but later in order to protect Lake Khuvsgul (a tourist attraction), the government stopped transporting oil.

The last resort was to transport goods such as wool and leather. Although the Mongolian navy was not used, the Mongolians served as navies in Russia and Poland. The inland rivers and lakes in Mongolia, such as Ku There are also gunboats patrolling Lake Sgur, but these are not Mongolian naval equipment, but Polish and Romanian equipment.

Actually, many people are joking about the Mongolian navy, saying that there are only 7 people in the navy, and 6 of them can’t swim. What will happen if they fall into the sea? It is said that the captain’s biggest wish is to earn enough money to see the sea, and the map is called? The large-scale special documentary "Mongolian Navy", the three people on the cover account for half of the total strength of the navy, namely the Navy Commander, the Commander ,chief of staff?.

However, as early as the 13th century, the Mongolian Empire once had a powerful navy. It invaded Japan twice. The navy was very powerful, just like their Mongolian cavalry. As a result, it was forced to be in this situation today. In 1997, due to the financial crisis, the navy began to implement privatized management. The underlying meaning was to control whether you live or die in the future.

It is undeniable that the perseverance of their naval force and their desire is to create a small but highly efficient and professional armed military force. The Commander of the Mongolian Navy once pointed out that Mongolia The Armed Forces and the Mongolian Navy are ready to resist any threat, and the Navy will serve as the vanguard to defend against foreign invaders.

This navy has also done good things. In April 2015, the Mongolian Navy's so-called "Temujin" stopped water-finding training and went to Yemen to contribute to international humanitarian relief. Later, it went to Afghanistan Supplied a large amount of supplies within the country to help the United States evacuate overseas Chinese.
