Laos, a country with no coastline, has only one long river in the country. Why does it have a strong navy?
Laos is a landlocked country. But even inland countries still retain a strong navy. In fact, many landlocked countries retain a navy even if there is no sea. Like Mongolia, there is a navy, although there are only 7 people. Laos has a total military strength of 60,000, of which 1,700 are in the navy. So far, Laos has four fleets with 110 ships of various types. The economy of Laos is very poor, but it still has such a large navy, which surprised many people.
There is a long river in Laos called the Mekong River. The Mekong River flows through many countries, including China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand, etc. Everyone should know that there is a particularly chaotic area in eastern Myanmar, northern Thailand, and northwest Laos, which is the Golden Triangle Virus Den. There are many illegal armed forces here, but because it is the border of the three countries, the management is rather chaotic.
The Lao Navy is strong, which is related to the domestic hydroelectric power station in Laos. If it is attacked by terrorists, the livelihood, infrastructure, agriculture and industry of Laos will be hit. In order to protect some important towns along the river, Laos must have a navy.
