A Turkish researcher has developed a spray-on stealth coating for drones, utilizing a formulation of volcanic rock. This material, named Kürşat 3.0, reportedly reduces radar return signals by up to 43dB, significantly outperforming typical radar-absorbent materials. While the claims require third-party validation, the coating could enhance the survivability of small, cost-effective drones in modern warfare scenarios. AI
