AoA vane Mig-23

Will some kind person enlighten me please re an AoA vane placed under the forward section of a Mig 23 which I saw last Friday in Finow Airfield open air museum.Is it's purpose to determine crab angle and/or wind direction whilst descending along a radio navigational aid.I only ever saw such vanes placed at the side of an aircraft and used for AoA infromation.
