That question makes absolutely no sense. An AWACS-style radar isnt designed to target weapons, first off.

An E-3/C-5 thing would probably not see F-22s coming. A "big radar dome" like the E-3 wouldnt be able to target a CIWS or any missiles or anything anyway, so all that stuff is now useless. Countermeasures arent very useful if you dont deploy them, and if you dont know you're being targetted then you're not going to deploy them. I honestly have no clue what you expect to do with guided bombs against fighter aircraft.

So the best answer for your question would be:

The C-5 would fly in a straight line and die, never knowing that death was approaching at Mach 1.7 without afterburners.
