I'm a big fan of Naval Gazing, which has an article on that exercise: https://www.navalgazing.net/Millennium-Challenge-2002

As you might guess, it has a slightly different view of what went down, and how representative it would be of a real conflict.

One of the most glaring issues in your quote is this:

> The carrier battle group’s Aegis radar system—which tracks and attempts to intercept incoming missiles—was quickly overwhelmed

This wasn't actually the Aegis radar that was overwhelmed, it was the system to simulate an Aegis radar for the purposes of an exercise. Actual Aegis systems don't seem to have the same problem.
