Its still pretty much a air to air platform.

They changed the radar and it allowed them to carry ground attack weapons.

The F-22 in ground attack carries 2 1000 pound J-Dams or 8 250 pound bombs on top of 2 Amraams and 2 sidewinders.


The F-35 and the CF-18 respectively are basically bomb trucks that can carry several times more in terms of air to ground bombs or missiles.
