China, Pakistan air forces launch joint training exercise

In a ground attack exercise, why are those Su27s so lightly armed? Mirages are not even armed with training rounds. What are the objectives of the training exercise?

Different phases of exercise have different requirements.
Getting accustomed to certain mandatory flight protocols could be one of those phases.As it seems like the younger pilots are getting their hands-on experience on a different aircraft.You don't need loaded pylons for that (especially knowing that it's a series of different exercises, that are scheduled between the two sides).
But still, if you look closely into the images that are available to the public you can actually make out what the Pakistanis are trying to achieve here and what are the objectives of the Chinese side.I'll leave it to the readers' imagination.

Just ....wow...goosebumps at the close teamwork
 
He is AVM Haseeb Paracha with one of the largest flying hours in F-16.
He is pretty experienced but not with the most hours....there are a couple more who got way more than him....including the current base commander of Sargodha. Definitely one of the best in the service and in the profession.
