Will re-recheck with air blast detailed equations in Cooper's "Explosives Engineering" when I get home.
For 11 tons of TNT (and I re-ran these with pure TNT equations, not nuke equations), you are not going to get broken windows beyond 0.15 mi.

Ok. Referencing pp406-409 in Explosives Engineering... Denominator of scaled dist Z=R/(WTa/Pa)^.33 is 154. At 154m per fig 28.2 P/p0 ~0.2
-
For 11,000 kg TNT equiv, 300K guess local temp, 0.9 bar guess at altitude
-
The ref 22 Cooper refers to extensively here is Kinney & Graham "Explosive Shocks in Air", Springer-Verlag 1985. Goes on the list...

Yeah I've seen way too much misinformation on this. The lack of critical thinking shown today has been impressive

I've seen one pound of c4 break windows that far

So not what they claim, or is there another component or some engineering that could do what they claim?

The media response to this bomb has been fascinating. Devoid of accuracy and full of Pol-spin, but fascinating.

the media makes it to look like 0.15 million mi.
