TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — The People's Liberation Army (PLA) Friday (May 24) released a “3D” video simulating an all-out attack on Taiwan amid its two-day military exercises around the country.
The PLA's Eastern Theater Command Thursday (May 23) said that it would conduct the “Joint Sword-2024A” exercise in the waters and airspace surrounding Taiwan. On Friday, it released a “3D simulation animation” depicting the use of warships, warplanes, and missiles to; “Destroy the support pillars! Strike the base camp! Cut the blood vessels!”
The 70-second animated video shows military aircraft and warships appearing in Taiwan's northern, southern, and eastern regions. It also depicts PLA warships around Kinmen's main cluster of islands, Wuqiu, Matsu's main cluster of islands, and Dongyin.

The clip indicates the PLA has deployed its army, navy, air force, and rocket force for the drills surrounding Taiwan. The video starts with CCTV News footage of the deployment of fighter jets, bombers, and warships, and the rocket force preparing to fire missiles.
This is followed by animated barrages of missiles fired from land, sea, and air. The projectiles are then depicted raining down on and obliterating Taipei, Hualien, and Kaohsiung.
A 30-second video also released by the PLA simulates bombers deployed to the east and naval vessels positioned to the northwest, northeast, southeast, and southwest of Taiwan. The warships and warplanes then close in on Taiwan on all sides as Taiwan flashes a county-wide red alert and an alarm siren goes off.
