#10  warhead in the making, which will be filled with thousands of rods 12 times as destructive as a .50-caliber bullet, targeted to shower a designated area. It is being developed for precision, speed, and range and has been designed to strike any place on the planet in an estimated 60 minutes.

Not quite Rods From God. Maybe Rods from a Lesser God?
