Fuh Wei-ku offers the following analysis: Currently the PRC weapons which pose the greatest threat to Taiwan are Sukhoi aircraft, M-class missiles, and cruise missiles. Of these, the aircraft are already strategically of the second rank, but Taiwan must be alert to the missiles. The M-class weapons can pass through the stratosphere directly into Taiwan's rear areas, while cruise missiles can undertake low-level long-range attacks.
傅慰孤分析，新世紀中共對我制空作戰最具威脅性的，乃是蘇愷戰機、M 族飛彈、及巡弋飛彈三項，其中因戰機遭遇戰已退居二線，M 族飛彈可飛越大氣層外直接攻擊我後方，及巡弋飛彈遠距超低空攻擊，是台灣必須特別注意的。
