If you don’t have a legitimate army or a functional navy, why would you need landing ships, anyway.

Oh, yes. Humanitarian aid. Isn’t that the purpose of the western military these days?

Awhile back I came across an article (from late 2016) that said that Serbia now has more tanks than Britain. I doubt if the quality is the same, but still...

So yeah, I guess you’re right. No need for landing ships if you have nothing to land.

For the curious, here’s that article:
