English translation:drag
Explanation:
Some promising references in Google that I am sure you can find yourself.

I was wondering if there was additional text prior to Verschleppung that would make the grammatical subject of 'heißt' something other than the search term itself?

disagree  Cilian O'Tuama: "between...to"? Your MT adjustments are seldomst for the better. And why cap C? It wouldn't be c'ised in a glossary/dictionary, oder? But thanks for the lower CL.//Read again and maybe work on points-per-answer ratio.

agree  Adrian MM.: confirmed by WB der Waffentechnik, Journal-Verlag. PS excuse the accidental lingo pair reversal, 'triggered' by shock at the first 'scattergun' accounting-contextual answer.

agree  Sam Habach: I agree. As the projectile travels through the air, drag influences its trajectory and velocity, causing it to encounter resistance and decelerate.
