Sturm ATGM

The Sturm ATGM is an anti-tank missile manufactured by DWF. It is, in fact, a direct copy of the United States' TOW II ATGM, and is usually still referred to as such by most users. Prior to the 2014 invasion, all TOW missiles used by European militaries were manufactured and sold by Raytheon. During the Two Week War, almost all stocks of the missile were either used or lost, and disruption of international trade caused by the Vannai Puppets mean replacements were not forthcoming. After the formation of Deutsche Waffenfabriken, reverse-engineered TOW missiles were produced without license under the designation 'Sturm'. Although initially overlooked due to the circumstances during the Human-Vannai War, the existence of the Sturm has since been added to the list of grievances of the United States' successor nation the American Coalition regarding blatant theft of US military technology by Europe.
With only very slight variations in design, the Sturm shares performance characteristics identical to the TOW II, with an RHAe penetration value of anywhere from 430mm to 900mm depending on the type of missile fired.
