Conventional number of a military unit (войсковая часть, в/ч), used in open documents instead of the real name of the unit. Units of the Ministry of Defence have five digits, and units of the internal troops and the border troops have four. A subunit without its own number takes the number of its parent unit and a Cyrillic letter. The Soviet Union introduced the system, and Belarus and Kazakhstan use the same form. The pattern accepts the number with or without the words в/ч or войсковая часть; a bare number needs the field name or context.
