How come you are able to fly over their airspace and able to click such pictures? I also saw these fencing while flying over their airspace over 38,000 ft. But your picture seems these are the pictures of low flying altitude and it's too much of habitat light around these fencing. Please let me know if you are flying above dense region of Punjab or J&K. But how come you can click and fly at such low altitude over these area. Maybe you edited. Please let me know."

Another user named protima_venugopal comments, "So beautiful? Itna khoobsurat I wouldn't want to forge a war yaar...stupid human beings...the new generation of Indians and Pakistanis like Gen Z and Alpha should start clicking aesthetic pics at the border...maybe war will stop coz they will be more interested in clicking beautiful pics and being the main character energy...hehe...."
