If the F-35 is capable of taking on anything, and is a good attack
aircraft, what do you need the F/A-22 for?

Hitting targets about twice as far away.

How? They're using the same missile.

Presumably by flying farther, and at a higher speed, to the
target before firing.

An F-22 is not a fast airplane, by historical perspectives and will have
less range than some F-35 versions. Same Company, different guys, better
airplane.
