The F-35 Lightning II jet can’t communicate all that well with its little brother the F-22 Raptor.

I'm sorry, but the F-22 is the BIG brother...

Exactly. Regardless of this specific issue, the F-22 is the original and superior design.

My opinion: F-22 = today’s F-15. F-35 = today’s F-111.

The Kitchen Sink approach rarely works. It did with the F-110/F-4, but even there, they had to go retro to machine guns to make it work in the field.
