What are each of the F series fighter jets from the US military used for?

From what I understand, we have the F-15, F-16, F-117, F-22 and F-35.

Why do we need all these different models? I assume each specializes in something…what is it?

F-15 – mule for missiles, good dogfighter and originally designed as an air superiority fighter. F-16 originally designed for air combat, however with mid-life upgrades can complete other missions aswell. F-117 purely a stealth bomber. F-22 air superiority stealth fighter to gain the control of airspace. F-35 designed to be the jack of all trades in modern combat scenarios. It also distributes heaps of information to ground and other troops aswell.
