How about arming all airliners flying near Russia with some purely
self-defense weapon?  For example, a missile and launcher that would
only be activated when the plane was crashing or had been blown to
bits, thus releasing the weapon.   (There would be a jettison mechanism
to handle air-emergencies.)
