TOW, Stinger, Javelin, and Switchblade Drone/Missiles are all capable of taking out large commercial airplanes. TOW 2 are specifically designed to take out buildings in the Bunker Buster variants. Simultaneous release of multiple TOW2s could be used to defeat large industrial buildings, or skyscrapers. Slovakia has sent an S300 to Ukraine, and those are pretty hefty sized missiles too. Are you drawing the limit on short range tactical missiles, intermediate range tactical missiles, Cruise Missiles, ICBMs, or Nuclear ICBMs, since we have already established NATO is supplying a number of missile types to Eastern Ukraine? |

You mentionned Cuba, so I mentionned Cuba, false equivalence yada yada...
Still, so far the Buk that fools used to down the Malaysia MH17 is the only actual case we're talking about: misguided killings inside the aforementioned "sphere of control", more like sphere of complete corrupt incompetence if you ask me.
All the rest you list is the result of the unprovoked aggression.
So far only Israeli airlines have installed flare decoy systems on commercial transport aircrafts, there are technical issues with downing one of those with what you list though. Let us both hope your theories do not have to get tested.
