They’d have to hack military air control. And even then they’d have to jam the communications between AWACS and local air units. Having one system isn’t going to cut it.
Edit to add, since you mentioned a first landing in Virginia, they’d run straight into anti air defenses that operate independently of NORAD. Every woodline would shortly have an Avenger system and the 82nd Airborne would collectively scream in joy as they begged, borrowed, and stole every bit of rifle ammo they could find. They wouldn’t even need orders. Their entire special training is to act without orders because Airborne troops are frequently cut off.
I think in the game they implied the first drop was in Virginia, all the soldiers parachuted airborne… Oh and btw I’m not referring to take the whole country, not even in the game the Russians managed to do that.
Oh and there’s also fighter jets and the whole satellite surveillance is down.
What about the MW2 scenario with the hacking air control thing (I forgot how was that thing called)

Virginia would go very badly.
NYPD has 50,000 officers. that’s not counting Port Authority Police, USPS Police, other Federal and State officers.
A C-130 plane can carry about 100 troops.
The ‘USSR’ would need a thousand planes to take one city.
I’m pretty sure someone would notice 100 thousand military aircraft flying across Europe headed to America.

Which just makes it sillier.
Why would they take Virginia? And the surveillance system has multiple redundancies, including satellites and NATO allies.
Because it was the easier target in the east coast? I dunno I’m not American lol
MW2 is basically a Michael bay movie, let’s just assume EVERY surveillance system is down
