You can see references on web about such "rumors" (See this Dec 02 post
below) But just as many denials as well.....

But I think your down the right track. If the report was held up it was
probably for 'political' reasons vice a military issue!!!! Just take a look
at recent Iraq action and the loss of the F-15E. Still being
investigated??? Press hasn't been on top of this one very much. Me thinks
this one is wrapped up in some political issues as well. Otherwise, what is
so "sensitive" about a combat loss or loss due to aircraft malfunction/pilot
error. Happens all the time.

declassification, and I've been trying to guess what that word was ever
since.

How about "Soviet" ? If used to describe an enemy pilot...
