Believe it or not - Red Flag without EUROs - but I digress....

B-2, F-22, F-35A and F-35B in First Red Flag Together 27 Jul 2017 TIRPAK
"...The 10 F-35Bs that deployed were a mix of aircraft with the 2B and 3i software, Vaughan said. They were “really the same” in the way they operated, and the commonality and software stability was “extremely good,” Vaughan said....

Fournie reported there was a Virtual/Constructive element of the game that posited large numbers of aircraft “fighting” in the space outside the Nellis complex, in order to tax the Air Operations Center and make scenarios larger and more complex. Because the F-22 still cannot transmit data over a secure data link to the F-35 and “fourth gen” aircraft, communications continue to be made over “secure voice,” officials said. The F-22 can receive data from the F-35 via the Link 16 datalink."
