Special operation of the SBU on Russian neutterminals," it is discussed how Japan has joined military exercises with the United States, France, Britain, Canada, Australia, and India. The significance of this agreement lies in Japan's potential participation in NATO or German military drills, with Germany providing their territory and military bases as well as logistical support for Japan's troops. This document signifies the reintegration of Japan into the military alliance, and it could also mean an extension of the Schengen zone. Britain, which recently welcomed US nuclear weapons back to its territories, has already conducted a missile launch to practice nuclear bomb drops, as reported by The Sun. Russia, in response, is reportedly preparing to implement long-term plans on occupied Ukrainian territories, according to the Institute for the Study of War. Putin was also seen initiating military drills with various countries. Prior to this, NATO held scheduled military training, but Britain decided to train its own nuclear launch calculations right away.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "2.02 Front stable despite attacks from the enemy. Special operation of the SBU on Russian oil terminals," the speaker emphasizes that as long as Ukrainian territories are occupied by Russia, Russian banks will not be able to return to the international market. Putin reportedly gave a green light to Russian businesses in these areas and urged business development despite ongoing sanctions. The German Bundestag approved a $7.6 billion budget to support Ukraine's military, marking a significant German military involvement in the conflict. Russian forces lost another aircraft bomb in the Luhansk region, making it the sixth aviation bomb lost this time. Moreover, Russia's Central Bank printed an additional 4 trillion rubles in 2022 and 2023, increasing the monetary mass in circulation to 18.4 trillion rubles, reflecting an aggressive monetary policy. Despite these economic challenges, the speaker remains optimistic and encourages viewers to like and subscribe to their channel.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "2.02 Front stable despite enemy attacks. Special operation of the SBU on Russian terminals," the speaker discusses the possibility of Ukraine and Russia engaging in destructive actions against each other, specifically in relation to the Krymsky Titan plant in Crimea. During the summer offensive, the topic of sabotage against the Hersonska GES and Krymsky Titan plant arose. Some military experts speculated that in case of Ukrainian advancement in Crimea, the Russian Federation might retaliate by explosive attacks on these facilities,Kyiv might prevent such actions by destroying the plant preemptively or through international sanctions. However, the panelist explains that although Ukraine has the capability to destroy the plant, doing so would result in a hazardous chemical release, potentially affecting the northern part of Crimea, Hersonskaya oblast, and the Perekop region. The impact could extend to neighboring countries like Georgia or Turkey. However, the Russian Federation had already suffered significant consequences from explosions, including the one at the Kherson GES, which allowed Ukraine to maintain a foothold on the left bank of the Dnepr river. Nonetheless, they continued to dig trenches in Red Forest near Chernobyl, raising concerns about further military actions. Overall, while the potential destruction of the Krymsky Titan plant would be a significant environmental and human health concern, it's unclear whether either side would risk such a catastrophic event.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "2.02 Front stable despite enemy attacks. Special operation of the SBU on Russian nefteterminalas," the speaker discusses the significance of different levels of artillery in a military structure. He explains that in the Soviet era, there was a battery of artillery in every battalion, and the type of battery varied depending on the type of battalion. Today, there are various types of artillery, including divisional and corps-level artillery. The speaker then explains that artillery is divided into two categories: prided and supporting. Prided artillery is directly assigned to a specific commander, and the supporting artillery is under the command of a higher-ranking officer who can mobilize it in support of a particular unit. The purpose of this division is to provide flexible and effective artillery support to the military units as needed.

In this section of the video titled "2.02 Front stable despite enemy attacks. Special operation SBU on Russian oil terminals," the speaker discusses the role of artillery in modern warfare, particularly the distinction between supporting and main artillery. The speaker explains that in NATO countries, there was a traditional division of artillery into supporting and main artillery, with the former temporarily joining a specific unit to perform tasks in its interest and the latter remaining as the artillery command's unit to support all military formations. However, this division no longer exists, and the only remaining artillery unit is battalion-level artillery, including minemortar batteries. When it comes to tank role in the battlefield, the speaker notes that they can support infantry and launch strafing runs or act as artillery in supporting defending or attacking forces from a distance. The speaker adds that in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, tanks are currently fulfilling the role of artillery due to the difficulty of deploying artillery close to the battle lines due to counter-battery battles against Russian artillery. Overall, tanks serve as a universal tool for both supporting offensive and defensive actions, providing artillery fire support for both the defending and attacking forces.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "2.02 The front is stable despite enemy attacks. Special operation of the SBU on Russian oil terminals," the speaker discusses the accuracy of the Russian H-22 missile, which was originally designed as an anti-carrier missile with a circular error at the target of approximately 300 meters. According to the speaker, this level of accuracy was sufficient due to the nuclear warhead that the missile carried, allowing a 600-meter range for the warhead's detonation to cause significant damage or sink a carrier. However, the speaker notes that the H-22's accuracy degrades by approximately one kilometer every 100 kilometers in its flight range. Though modern anti-ship missiles like the SS-N-25 Switchblade have smaller deviations from their target, the speaker notes that there is currently no radioelectronic warfare or interference station that can fully block the necessary frequency bands, leaving smaller stations vulnerable to Russian countermeasures. The speaker indicates that the Ukrainian forces' priority is to prevent the deployment of these smaller Russian stations as soon as they are identified.
