Musadda khulfiya = مسددة خلفية

Greetings....taHaiyat Tayyiba wa b3ad...

The Unifying Military Dictionary of the Arab League gives:

Musadda khulfiya = مسددة خلفية

Alternate term (but used less frequently in military manuals):

sh3iirat khulfiya = شعيرة خلفية

Hope this helps.

Khair, in sha' Allah.
