You'll note there are two airbrakes per wing on the upper surface and one 
underneath. Originally designed for four (two upper and two lower) they 
subsequently deleted one of the lower units.
I admit they are rather strange looking, basically "planks on legs" but they 
apparently work well. Perhaps this specific design was found to work best 
with the high lift forces typically generated with delta wings?
