That's the answer possibly. The holes could be there to avoid condensation water. I've seen that at a MiG-29 ones. There where fasteners which closed automatically in higher levels because of the preasure.

Edit: The more I think about it...airbrakes on the sides in front of the wings? Possibly it's simply a maintanance panel.
