i still wonder why they didn't extend the upper deck a little backward so it could be used for launching and landing drones

its what i say . why the helipad is not extended here , by the way this is not some place to run drones that is some shroud, if i was to design it i'd had extended the helipad up to the tower at the back of the ship

Looking at the photos I estimate the length of the flight deck to be around 80 meters...why do you think this is not enough for a drone to take flight...Landing may be tougher and they may need catch cables or nets..

80m is good for light drones , if the drone carry ordenance it probably need more length for flying and also landing is a problem.

look at this

if it was me i devided the boat to both side of the ship (honestly i still can't understand how they lower the boat to water , i can't see a mechanism for that.

and then extended the central part of the helipad toward the tower at the back of the ship by doing so the length of the helipad would have more than doubled and UAV like Mohajer-6 , Ababil-5 or Kaman-12 could have easily operated on the deck , they could add a sefety net at the back of the deck but i doubt it was necessary for those uavs,
the ship could have been turned to a drone carrier with the ability to launch at least 50-60 of such drones

This is where a diagonal/angled style flight deck might be better,as it would allow for the possibility of go arounds if the first attempt at lining up for a landing is unsuccessful.
But I certainly agree about the need for some sort of arrestor gear

Possible the next generation being built as we speak will be more drone friendly with extended or deck and also have a crane for deck loads

What's the remaining 20% of foreign components and involvement they need to build one tanker? Do you have any idea of the specific areas the Iranians have yet to become self-sufficient in?

In a commercial project such as a Tanker for a foreign customer the customer may put a requirements that some subsystem have to be sourced from so and so supplier..(nav radar..fire suppression , or propulsion etc).. I know Venezuela did put out some specific requirements on their tankers...Also sometimes if you can get a Commercial Off-The-Shelf component then it will be economical to source COTS.
