Those are the two pitot tubes. The other tubes on the fuselage forward of the canopy are cannons. Aft of the canopy are radio aerials. This [1] only mentions the right-hand pitot tube, but since they appear to be identical, I assume it was just an oversight on the document's author.
It does seem they are.. the obvious reason for having one on both wings would be redundancy, pitot tubes are not that reliable.. You need to check & inspect & cover/uncover them in preflight/postflight cause bugs & dirt and such can easily clog them.
AFAICT they're so huge to get them out of the pressure effects on the wing from supersonic/transonic flight.
The Mig-21 giant spike over the nose is the same thing apparently.
Pretty interesting. It seems like a lot of US jets just have/had a different solution to this problem.
Actually reading your document the long spikes at the end of the wingtips are not mentioned as the Pitot tubes.. that document says the pitot tube is mounted on the right wing 1/4 of the distance in from the tip.
Yeah, I think that has to be a mistake, either in translation or just an error. They're obviously both pitot tubes, and there's nothing mount 1/4 of the distance from the wingtip.
