Yo me conformaría con que F35 y F22 pudieran hablar directamente entre ellos, sin necesitar que un U2 haga de pasarela porque, que yo sepa, es aún no es posible a día de hoy:

Following recent encounters with Russian aircraft that Washington describes as “increasingly unsafe”, the Pentagon has sent an unspecified number of F-22 to a location in the Middle East.

In FY23, the F-22A program completed FOT&E on the Release 2 (R2) Operational Flight Program (OFP), their second annual capability release. Operational testing for the next capability release, R3, is planned to begin in 1QFY24. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) currently restricts Link 16 transmission, an ongoing issue that has impeded both testing and utilizing a combat capability already installed in the aircraft.

PROGRAM
The F-22A Raptor started as a major capability acquisition program, with the first production aircraft fielding in 2003. Since 2019, the Air Force has been implementing hardware and software modernization efforts as capability releases. The Tactical Link 16 and Tactical Mandates TEMPs, approved by DOT&E in 2018, supported testing through the R2 Force Development Evaluation (FDE). Planning for the next F-22A capability release, R3, is ongoing, and operational testing is planned to begin in 1QFY24. The R3 and R4 capstone test strategies and test concepts are covered in a combined R3/R4 TEMP. DOT&E expects incremental updates to the TEMP every two capability releases, beginning with R5, planned for FY25.

TEST ADEQUACY
The Air Force completed the R2 FDE and cyber survivability testing in January 2023. The test was observed by DOT&E and was executed in accordance with the DOT&E-approved test plan, with one exception. The R2 FDE included successful live employment of Air Intercept Missile (AIM)-120 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles and five large-force employment, mission-level trials covering both defensive and offensive counterair mission areas. However, the required Open Air Battle Shaping (OABS) capability was not properly integrated into the F-22A and was therefore not ready for use during the R2 FDE mission-level trial evaluation. The OABS limitation, which was also present in R1 testing, stemmed from omissions in F-22A software and delays integrating the Common Range Integrated Instrumentation System (CRIIS) into the F-22A. CRIIS is the current flight test instrumentation capability needed for OABS in the F-22A and will enable high-fidelity, real-time kill removal and data collection. Data collected by the OABS system will also be essential during the verification, validation, and accreditation of the F-22A model in the Joint Simulation Environment.

One longstanding test limitation stems from FAA restrictions on Link 16 transmission, which continue to prevent testing and fielding of this important capability. A more thorough evaluation of the Link 16 capability in the F-22A will occur as soon as the FAA lifts the restriction and/or the DoD develops a method to accommodate FAA protocols and restrictions.

One suitability issue that remains from R1 testing is the significant delay in receiving an avionics component from the vendor that is Article F-22A 292 293 critical to enabling F-22A Link 16 capabilities.

En 2021, las Fuerzas Aéreas adjudicaron a Lockheed un contrato de casi 11.000 millones de dólares y una década de duración para modernizar el caza.

Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Allvin said March 7... CCA Will Redefine How USAF Counts Its Fighters
...
...One big question on those numbers are the 32 older-model F-22 fighters. Allvin suggested that the Air Force has not yet given up on its push to retire the Block 20 Raptors, even after Congress forbade any reductions in the fleet.
Allvin said not all F-22s are equal. “There’s a block of F-22s which really lags the rest of the F-22 force, that we would not put up in a fight with the adversary necessarily, because it doesn’t have all the capabilities we need,” he said. “But the F-22 plays a pivotal role, so we’re looking to be able to take those that are most combat capable, keep them in the fight, and then leverage some of the resources for those [lesser models] that are going to be cost-prohibitive and time-prohibitive to upgrade” and use those resources elsewhere.
