Here are some more information for Aire Adf:
The F-22 Fighter Plane (Which started life as the Advanced Tactical Fighter {ATF} and later became the Air Dominance Fighter {ADF}) and the Typhoon were programs started in the early 80's. The F-22 is intended to replace the F-15C/D While the Euro fighter plane is intended to replace a whole plethora of aircraft.
The JSF (Joint Strike Fighter) is a replacement for aircraft types such as the Harrier (VSTOL variant slated for the USMC; Britain), the F-16 (CTOL Variant for the USAF) and the F/A-18C/D (Naval Variant for the USN).
While the Jury is still out on the JSF (As far as I am concerned) I think the F-22 has turned into one of those "Projects that won't die" like the M2/M3 Bradley. The US Government has spent so much money on it that they can't afford to buy it.
Do we need it? That question is already moot. We are getting it whether we "need" it or not. I think, however, that the F-22 may be the last manned fighter to be deployed. The focus will, IMHO, switch to highly capable UCAVs...
From a military perspective, yes. What will stop these European countries from selling this aircraft to any country that wants it? What will stop members of the design team from selling plans to other countries? It is possible that our aircraft will infact have to fly against the euro fighter.
Keep in mind, there was a time when Iraq was our ally (of sorts). Just because someone is my ally today does not mean they will be tomorrow. If I'm putting you in a hunk of metal that for all intents and purposes is one large explosive. That you will have to fly faster than the speed of sound while being fired at.... call me crazy, but I think you would like to be sitting in the most technologically advanced thing you could get your hands on.
Being on the cutting edge of military advancement doesn't come cheap or easy. But the most powerful country in the world is ALWAYS the country with the most powerful military. You can't very well impose your will if you... can't impose your will.
Our military isn't just judged based upon its ability to fight those we will likely have to in the near future. But, everything out there. including our own weapons.
A lot of Russian/European Fighter planes are at par or has exceeded the F-15E's capability. This puts the US at a disadvantage. Besides, F-15 will be at least 25+ years old. For a military that's taking the fight into the OPFOR's own backyard, the US has to dominate its battle space. And that means having an Air Superiority to operate with impunity.
Sure, it's expensive. But whoever said that Air Superiority was cheap? If you looked back into the 70s when the F-15 was still in its R&D phases lawmakers said the same damn thing: "that plane's too expensive!" And now, we got hundreds of them.
The F-22 may be the single biggest waste of money since the B-1. Large, heavy, bad E-M (energy-maneuverability) ratings it simple is not a good air plane. Instead of being based on the E-M theory like the F-15 and 16 were it has instead reverted back to the bigger-higher-faster doctrine. It simply puts to many gizmos into a plan that doesn't need it. The E-M theory proved that the lighter the plane the better it will be able to maneuver, the F-22 is one of the heaviest planes designed.
It also has far surpassed its budget and its cost per plane is simply unacceptable. By the time the air force has enough money to replace its fleet with these flying boxes they will be long obsolete.

Slouch Hat
A slouch hat is a wide-brimmed felt hat with a chinstrap most commonly worn as part of a military uniform. It is a survivor of the felt hats worn by eighteenth century armies. The distinctive Australian slouch hat, sometimes called an Australian bush hat, has one side of the brim turned up or pinned to the side of the hat in order to allow a rifle to be slung over the shoulder. In the United States it was also called the Kossuth hat, after Lajos Kossuth .
choli">http://www.himfr.com/buy-choli_tops/">choli topsThis style of hat did not originate in Australia, being introduced there around 1885 and was sometimes described as a 'Tyrolean' import. A contemporary painting dated 1884 (in the regimental museum) of the pipe band of 1st Battalion Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders in service dress, crossing the veldt in Zululand, shows them wearing khaki slouch hats. Other armies rejected the once-popular headwear (as the British army did in 1905) following its popularity in the Second Boer War where it was worn by British Army units such as the City Imperial Volunteers (CIV), Imperial Yeomanry, and King Edward's Horse but brought it back during the Burma campaign in the Second World War.
The slouch hat with the brim pinned up on the right side was worn by the Schutztruppe (protection force) that was the colonial armed force of Imperial Germany from the late 1800s to 1918 when Germany lost its colonies. Different coloured puggarees were worn by the Germans in South West Africa, German East Africa, German West Africa (Togo and Cameroon) and China.
The slouch hat was frequently worn throughout Africa and in motion pictures about Africa such as Jungle Jim and safari films. It became associated with the Australian military; from World War I it was manufactured in Australia by the Akubra company for the army. This slouch hat is still worn by the Australian military today.
The slouch hat or Terai hat is also associated with the Gurkha regiments of the British Army and Indian Army (formerly the British Indian Army) and is still worn by the Gurkhas; the hat is no longer worn on active service. The 2nd Gurkha Rifles became the first Gurkha regiment to adopt the slouch hat when they were issued with the Australian variant in 1901. The Gurkha terai hat is created by fusing two hats into one to make the hat more rigid and is worn at an angle, tilted to the right.
The Chindits and other units of Field Marshal William Slim's British Fourteenth Army, who fought against the Japanese in the Far East during World War II, also became associated with the slouch hat (also known as the bush hat in the British Army). The slouch hat was also used by colonial units of the British Empire, including the Royal West African Frontier Force, the Canadian Yukon Field Force, Canadian Pacific Railway Militia, the Kenya Regiment and troops from Rhodesia.
A Unit Colour Patch is also worn by members of the Australian Army on their Slouch Hat to indicate which unit they are from.
The slouch hat was first worn by military forces in Australia in 1885 when the newly created Victorian Mounted Rifles wore the hat as part of their khaki uniform. On 22 December 1890 the Military Commanders of the then separate Australian Colonies prior to the Federation of Australia met to discuss the introduction of the khaki uniform throughout Australia. They agreed that all Australian Forces with the exception of the Artillery would wear the slouch hat. It was to be looped up on one side - Victoria and Tasmania on the right and the other colonies-later states-on the left.
Australian Defence Force (ADF) personnel regard the slouch hat as a parade item of dress, and although army standing orders for dress allow it to be worn in the field, most soldiers do not, as it is almost a disgrace to allow it to get unnecessarily dirty. The Australian slouch hat (also know as a Hat KFF, or Hat Khaki Fur Felt) is worn with a seven band puggaree, said to represent the six states and the territories of Australia. For the Army, the hat includes the soldiers' Unit Colour Patch (right of puggaree), Corp or Regiment Hat badge (front of puggaree) and the General Service Badge (The Rising Sun, affixed on the left brim) on both the Grade 1 and Grade 2 Slouch Hats. When on ceremonial parades, e.g. ANZAC Day, the Slouch Hat is worn with the brim up (Grade 1), showing the General Service Badge on the left side. However when the soldier's dress of the day is either DPCU's or Polys, then they wear the hat with the brim flat (Grade 2).
The Slouch Hat worn by the Army is one of the ADF's trademarks, but it is not theirs alone: the Royal Australian Air Force wears the HKFF with a dark blue or "Air Force Blue" Puggaree, as a Non Ceremonial head dress for the RAAF; the Royal Australian Navy is also known to wear the hat when wearing camouflage and other uniforms, and has the same features as the RAAF's HKFF. The RAAF & RAN Slouch Hats do not have unit colour patches, nor do they wear it brim up; instead the only badge worn is the RAAF or RAN cap badge, of a design appropriate to the wearer's rank, at the front of puggaree.
The 1st Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment (1RAR) for their slouch hats wear a jungle green coloured puggaree with no colour patch, this dates back to traditions when serving in Malaya. Prior to the RAAF varying some of its Service Dress Uniform the RAAF also used to wear a Blue Slouch hat, with a black or blue puggaree and the Khaki for the HKFF puggaree had a blue band .Some American soldiers assigned to units in the China Burma India Theatre of World War II (CBI) such as the OSS Detachment 101 and the 1st Air Commando Group wore British Army issue bush hats with their uniforms without official authorisation.
In the early 1960s when American soldiers went to the Vietnam War, the standard headgear was a fatigue baseball or field cap that offered limited protection from the sun. Local tailors made a slouch hat in a style between a French type bush hat of the First Indochina War and an Australian type bush hat with a snap on the brim to pin one side up that was widely bought and unofficially worn by American troops in Vietnam. The local tailors usually used green fatigue cloth or leopard skin pattern military camouflage from old parachutes. The hat often had a cloth arc emblazoned with the word VIET-NAM on the brim. The U.S. 1st Air Commando Group members adopted the green slouch hat as their distinctive and practical headgear with an AIR COMMANDO arc.
In 1972 the U.S. Army authorized female Drill Sergeants to wear a similar type cloth bush hat with the brim pinned up on the side as their distincive headgear. The U.S. Air Force female Military Training Instructors were given an Air Force blue slouch hat.
A few state police forces in India do use the Slouch Hats. The Armed Reserve wing of the Kerala Police used to wear slouch hats right up to the 1980s. This was later replaced with the a blue peak cap. Karnataka Police continues to use slouch hats for its members in the lower rungs of the police force (Constables and Head Constables). The slouch hat will have the colours of the police unit embroidered on the brim which is put up. The police number of the officer is also fixed onto this side of the brim.
