    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). On final
    orbit should be another object, namely DM block ie. 4th stage of
    launcher
