Where's the Raptor getting *its* targeting data from?

AWACS, perhaps?

Wioth stealth aircraft, getting sensor data from other aircraft
makes a lot of sense, because once you turn the radar on, it's not a
stealth aircraft any more.

Depends on a lot of issues, few of which are suited to a public debate
demanding numbers. Also, how 'all-aspect' is the F-22's stealth? We both
know that no trustworthy RCS plots will be published any time soon.

Some claim it's heavily optimised to reduce its RCS from the front,

This would make sense, for the same reason that tanks are more
heavily armoured at the front.
