Your plan has a couple of issues, Israel is also a small nation and no one has ever been able to just send troops in. UAE's greatest strength is its air force, so good luck getting in large cargo aircraft that will drop troops in...they will not only be easy SAM targets, but also easy pickings for the aircraft...in order to pull something like that off, you need either an area that has less surveillance or you have air superiority...the second is unlikely, and the first...well since you said it is so small, it is far easier to monitor all of it...the enemy aircraft would be seen coming and would be met with either block 60s or Mirage-2000-9s...good luck against either. They have more than enough aircraft to engage multiple threats from multiple directions due to the small area...I think they are pretty well protected.
Well, a stealth mission , is not only something USA and NAVY seals can do , any nation with competence can drop 100-1000 soliders on special mission , who said they will just come from Air ? They can come in a local bus or via water route
Or better they will be on diplomatic visa , like they do in Pakistan when Contractors come in on diplomatic visas
Bottom line is when war starts small nations like UAE can scramble all the jets they want , but when their Airport from where they launched their aircraft get hit by 100-200 missiles, and they have to land on that airport field with pot holes
I doubt how many of these Expensive ... F16 Block 60 (More like expensive outdated toy) will be pile of dust
So what if they flew the first wave extremely low flights and took out the radars ? lol
Ops here comes the Paratroopers ... Geronimo ....... every one out ....
AK-47 , and troops landing on UAE international airports. And with in 2 hours when CNN reports the news, we hear that 20 Block 60 F16 are not occupied
Followed by news that UAE prince have made a daring get away in the yatch
As for Israel , its only survived as long as it did because it has Nuclear weapons and secondly all other nations do not have "COMPLETE force"
Complete as in a free , sovereign airforce, military , navy ....
Alll the armies around are 20 years behind in term of technology
But with right tactics , and element of suprise
I am sure , it can be done lol, Egypt must have learned a good lesson from last time around , no wonder then opened the Gaza cross, and Turkey also was planning to support flotilla ship into Gaza
But I think we really are talking about UAE , and I don't think they are capable of protecting a city it really is just a city ... for more then 1-2 days max , and a pre-emptive strike will almost 100% knock them out in first day
I don't believe tiny nations like Tiwan , or UAE, or Israel
Can stand up against bigger Nations , like China , Saudia/Iran, Turkey/Egypt/Jordan/Syria
I mean even before , Arab armies had defeated Israel if it was not for the resupply , with new tanks and weapons coming to Israel from you know who ..
Well from past conflicts we saw how a gulf country was suddenly taken over by a much larger nation with ease
With Israel its different as nations adjacent to it have peace agreement with it .. and also they got nucs
