...just for fun I thought I'd bring this up with the soon to come debate over a new bomber.

In a hypothetical way, it is a pretty cool idea.  Specifically, I've always been an advocate for the F-22 as a force multiplier in the sense that even unarmed it can target for other platforms, as it does in the video.  A B-1R type platform would work well with that, though I think you would need something even longer ranged than an AIM-120D to really take advantage of it.
 
There's no way the Air Force is going to buy more B-1s of any type, but I expect we could see something similar to this in the future involving the next generation bomber employing JDRADMs this way.

Hey DA,
 
The entire hour long show was really good. Why don't ya get the section that showed the F35 in action where it was shown in a2a and a2g as well as how good it is even AFTER it's stealth was compromised. I'm sure the French twins would luv that since they think it's a dog. I'm still trying to figure out why a chase F16 (which wasn't a dog last I heard) has to use AB just to keep up with the F35 in military power? Maybe BW & lil Piggy classify the F16 as a puppy?

I only saw that clip. I'd like to see the rest.

DA,
 
It is a program from the History channel called Dogfights of the Future.

Or just substitute half a dozen F-15s for the B-1s..

.....intelligence and situational picture generated by F-22 Raptors cannot be transferred to F-15s, F-16 or AWACS even if both units are participating in the same operation.
As stealth aircraft, F-22s are not equipped with conventional datalinks such as Link-16 which can be easily spotted by enemy SIGINT.

But still WAY off reality.

They upgrade F-22 with a datalink worth its stealth though, i can't see and 120 miles AMRAAM in the near future though and i don't realy like the V shaped fin on the B2, it is an absolute beauty as it is...
