The “top fins” are auxiliary chaff & flare dispensers. During the Soviet war in Afghanistan, the introduction of Stinger man portable missiles triggered their installation. This is why only the later Soviet Air Force Floggers were equipped with these, although I believe Syria retrofitted them in the 2010s.

I love the Mig 23
