In this episode, Combattler V exists in a world with real-world politics and institutions and security concerns, with an odd touch of super robot fantasy logic still applied. The real robot genre wasn't really a thing yet when this show was airing, but Yoshiyuki Tomino worked on Combattler V... Maybe an episode like this is a "missing link" in mecha genre evolution? Maybe writers were already getting ideas more appropriate to a more "serious military sci-fi" setting, but didn't have any more appropriate show to use those ideas in.

It's hard to say this episode works, but it's an intriguing curiosity in any case.
