WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - US House Armed Services Committee Chairman Adam Smith on Friday said it is time to cut the budget of the controversial Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter program, calling it a money-guzzling "rat hole" that does not work well.
"I want to stop throwing money down that particular rat hole. I know it doesn't work particularly well," Smith said during a virtual event hosted by the Brookings Institutions.
