1986 News: US Arms for Pakistan, Cricket Centuries, and Hashish Seizure

Forty years ago, on January 3, 1986, Pakistan was set to acquire advanced US electronic countermeasure weaponry, including AN TPQ37 fire-finder radar systems, valued at $41 million. In cricket, Srikkanth and Gavaskar scored centuries, leading India to 334 for one against Australia. Meanwhile, Pakistan's opposition leader Wali Khan expressed concerns about Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi's upcoming visit to Islamabad, and Bombay customs seized 2.95 tonnes of hashish.
