TCAS and ADS-B, today, and in the affected region is NOT the primary means of aircraft separation. For instrument flight, the primary responsibility for separation rests on ATC and see-and-avoid. For visual flight, see-and-avoid is primary.
TCAS and ADS-B is secondary. Not an insignificant backup, but a backup nonetheless.

This wouldn't be radar jamming.
Probably a new method of self separation or station keeping by the military.
1030/1090 ADSB hasn't ever been all that reliable in congested airspace anyways...
