Here’s What You Need To Remember: Assuming nothing goes wrong and Lockheed indeed succeeds in adding Link-16 to the F-22 force, 2020 could be the year the Raptor finally fulfills its promise as the world’s best fighter, and a warplane that helps the other forces around it perform even better. The Air Force and Lockheed plan to begin installing on the roughly 180 F-22s the Link-16 datalink, which allows U.S. and allied forces to swap location and targeting data via voiceless radio message. Link-16 is standard on U.S. and allied planes, ships and air-defense systems, but the F-22 at present doesn’t…
