Schwarzesmarken is a 2016 anime series based on the novel and visual novel game of the same name. The events took place in the Muv-Luv Alternative universe.
In an alternative time line, humanity is fighting a desperate battle against an overwhelming invading army of alien species collectively known as BETA (Being of Extra Terrestrial origin which is Adversary of the human race). Due to the presence of laser-class BETA neutralizing humanity's air superiority, the armies of the world were forced to develop tactical surface fighters (TSF) to combat the BETA threat.
By 1983, East Germany (German Democratic Republic, DDR) became the front line as the BETA advance reached the German-Polish border.

The following weapons are seen in the anime Schwarzesmarken.
