Will probably need updates to a whole bunch of electronics and computerstuff, even with military HW timeliness. And probably porting. I have no doubt second system syndrome will creep in.

Pretty sure the F-22 has had multiple upgrade cycles over its lifetime, so its not really all old 90's tech.

I think in reality spinning up production again would essentially be a new fighter based on the same core design, maybe reusing a lot of the parts.
