Nope, it was panic, they were without ammo.
Projection was that Serbs will capitulate in 3 days. When I say capitulate that really means capitulation because one of requests was to let NATO operate and use Serbian infrastructure (roads, land, frequencies), and not to be under Serbian law .
It never happened and bombing lasted 78 days. Only way for western countries to do something was to start bombing civilians without protection. So they did, markets, hospitals, trains, houses ....
From military perspective, they were useless even with troops on the ground (Albanian terrorists in kosovo and regular Albanian army that was trying to enter from Albania).
