A lot of runway. Why? Shaheds are launched with RATO gear.

There are 5 different aircrafts/helos/mockups on the deck of this old converted container ship, that are not Shaheds.

My bad, there's another post showing a launch of a Shahed size drone but Iran also got much bigger ones.

With 45/47 in charge that's a possibility. 

Let's see what happens to the Iranian ship that does recon for the Huthis.

Are three of those aircraft the Iranian "stealth" fighters?

Since you cannot instantly recognize them as such, the answer obviously is an unequivocal and resounding Yes.

On twitter, the conclusion is there is at least 2 identical looking aircraft. The ones that are flying off the deck are little more than model aircraft, and the life size ones are parked up on the ready five. Why dont they fly those? Perhaps they just dont have enough deck.

This is way to small for a fighter jet.

It's just very far away...

On the other hand, have you seen a Folland Gnat?

Another example of a small jet would be the USN A4. Still modern fighters are roughly the size of a WW2 heavy bomber. If you look at examples of the Russian Su57 their much larger than the equivilent F22, almost by 50%.

The Gnat and Skyhawk were products of a far simpler time, when the only electronics were a radio and transponder.  Modern combat jets are rather large computer networks with wings and an engine.
