Eight choppers were added yesterday to bolster NATO's ability to strike Serbian targets in Kosovo.
24 American Attack helicopters are headed to the region.
An additional two thousand troops are also being added to protect them.
The tank-busting helicopters are expected to be more effective than fighter jets in targeting the highly mobile Serbian troops.
Two airports, a bridge, and a fuel depot are reportedly the latest Yugoslav targets hit by NATO missiles.
Serb media report the last remaining bridge in Yugoslavia's second-largest city has been destroyed.
The country's deputy premier complained yesterday that Serbia is isolated and seriously weakened, and that officials should ``stop lying to the people.''
