ABMs, or Anti-Ballistic Missiles, were defense systems designed to intercept and destroy incoming ballistic missiles. They were considered a threat because their deployment could undermine the principle of mutually assured destruction (MAD), which was a key deterrent during the Cold War. By effectively neutralizing a country's ability to retaliate after a nuclear strike, ABMs could encourage aggressive military behavior and destabilize global security. This led to concerns about an arms race and increased tensions between superpowers.
