Just temporary, but still. What a thing for a modern jet to be delivered without.

i thought these things were superior in dogfighting, where you don't need a radar anyway. in fact, remove the hardpoints and internal bays too, then it'll be even better at stealth and dogfighting.

That's the F-22. The F-35 isn't that great at dogfighting. But that's not really relevant these days anyway.

seems like an oversight, in that case they'd need radars

So are they operating these things with radar delivered over datalink by another aircraft? Like a guide dog?
