The object B and C - numbers 26988 and 26989 - are reserved for two other satellites. There are two navigational satellites of type Uragan and one Uragan-M as payload launched with this Proton-M/DM-2 launch. The GLONASS satellites alias Uragans are usually launched in triplets (with only few - I am not sure - probably three or four exceptions).
