That's a nice summary. You missed the Intraflight Datalinks (IDL) for
the
F-22. That plays a big role in the F-22 CONOPS. Does Typhoon have that
facility? I know Grypen does.

Typhoon does have a datalink capability.

There's datalinks and datalinks. Saying Typhoon has one is like saying it
has wheels. IDL manages beam direction and radiated power and uses a covert
waveform to minimize probability of detection outside the local group. At
the same time, there's sensor fusion within the local group with sensor data
passed from AC to AC so that everyone sees what anyone sees.

If you want (more than you would believe) data links, go he

USAF links.
