When LCDR Scott Speicher USN was shot down in 1991, the US denied the incident. Then the US admitted the plane had been shot down, by a SAM. It took 10 years for the US to admit that Speicher had been shot down by an Iraqi Mig25 in a dog fight.
Expect the same kind of BS from the US on this incident.
