The SALT (Strategic Arms Limitation Talks) negotiations placed extra emphasis on anti-ballistic missiles (ABMs) because these systems could significantly undermine the principle of mutually assured destruction (MAD) by providing a defense against incoming nuclear missiles. The fear was that if one side developed effective ABM systems, it could lead to an arms race, as the other side would seek to enhance its offensive capabilities to overcome the defense. By limiting ABMs, the talks aimed to stabilize the nuclear balance and reduce the incentive for either side to escalate their nuclear arsenals. This focus was crucial for maintaining strategic stability during the Cold War.

It wasn't until the Viet Nam War when the armed forces had missiles that could get within 10 feet of the place they wanted to strike. Now we have the smart bombs and missiles that can hit targets within a few feet. We can also tell the missile or bomb when to take off and where to strike. __ By today's standards, the V1 and V2 rockets weren't successul. But they caused a great deal of fear and destruction.
