F-22 is not faster than the F-35. F-35 has clocked higher speeds with the Naval Version than the F-22’s fastest time can reach. When they put the VTOL engine in it for the Army and Marine version it is significantly slower than the F-22.
I use Wiki for this sort of thing and they are usually pretty accurate but they don’t mention the lower speed on the VTOL variant. Their claim is that fuel capacity was sacrificed to offset the space and weight of the VTOL system.
But like you said it’s not a carrier based plane so we’re technically comparing apples to oranges. Army planes have always had greater range and payloads than Navy planes.
