What airplane is this? and why the strange inlets?
That's a Polish Air Force MiG-29 "Fulcrum".  The strange intakes are to decrease the risk of foreign object damage during rough-field operations.

Edit to clarify: Normally, when the MiG-29 is in flight, the large ramp intakes below the wings are open, providing all the air for the engines, and the louvered intakes on top of the wings are closed.  However, if the aircraft is going to be operating from rough fields or flying at very low altitude, the pilot can close the main air intakes.  When the main intakes are closed, the louvered auxiliary intakes automatically pop open, so that the air going into the MiG-29's engines comes from above the aircraft, rather than below it; this greatly decreases the risk of the engine eating loose objects on the runway (that, and the fact that the opening a foreign object would have to pass through to enter the engine via an auxiliary intake is much smaller than the opening for the main intakes).  As the auxiliary intakes are smaller and at an angle to the airstream, the engines can't get as much air (and, consequently, can't produce as much thrust) when using the louvers as they can when using the main ramps; Mikoyan apparently decided that, for rough-field operations, decreased performance was an acceptable price to pay for a decreased rate of engine object ingestion.
