More like 3% and another 2% is for infrastructure. You only need to pretend that that infrastructure is really badly needed for defense, which is rather easy for a lot of it. Like say those are not metro stations, they are bunkers…
Metro stations are defense infrastructure even if they aren’t bunkers. Public transit directly achieves Baseline Resilience Requirements 2 & 7. It indirectly achieves others.

Infrastructure = logistics = defense. Plenty of roads that need building in the north if we wanna be able to maintain a solid presence.
Northern roads are a tricky thing. Permafrost contains a lot of frost.
They’ll probably have to be gravel and maintained regularly.
Some modern subway stations in North America are so ridiculously deep, perhaps we could call them bomb shelters…
Ukraine has been using subway stations as bunkers for the entire war.
