Don't know about the bullet holes, but the stars refer to successful intercepts of Soviet eeh Russian aircraft during its stay with the Baltic air policing ops out of Siauliai

euh.... noDon't you mean speedbrakes?
In the link he refers to the markings and bullet holes. If you look at the second picture, you'll see the holes above the tactical code 118-NC. These are for the stairs.
