In a world where the technological race between global powers is accelerating rapidly, the legendary F-22 Raptor — a symbol of U.S. air superiority — is entering a new chapter. It’s about to undergo the most extensive modernization in its history. Informally dubbed “Raptor 2.0,” this upgrade package promises to bring sixth-generation capabilities to the iconic fighter jet.The F-22 made history by becoming the first fifth-generation fighter to enter service. However, with over 20 years of active duty, what was once unbeatable is now beginning to show its age. Its systems, still based on 1990s avionics, haven’t kept up with the breakneck pace of technological advancement. The result? A growing gap between the Raptor and the new fighters arriving on the battlefield with more modern sensors, advanced communications, and better network integration.
