It's quite possible the "star" pattern in the last photograph is an old surface-to air (SAM) missile site. my father was a pilot in the Vietnam war and when he saw this photo he mentioned to me that it was soviet doctrine to have 5 or 6 SAM missiles placed in a star pattern with the radar and control van in the middle, allowing the ability to fire at targets 360 degrees around the site, and giving the whole area a star or pentagram shape, depending on the angle in which you view it. The star pattern also was for safety, if the site was attacked by aircraft, a bomb just hitting one missile would not destroy or cause the radar or other missiles to be damaged or destroyed also, one reason why cluster bombs were developed.
