Veterans...Get the hell in here now!

Isn't the iron dome geared for mortars and drones? Larger rockets and such are brought down by Patriots or other SAM systems.

Yes, C-Ram (Counter [very short range] Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar):
"It is designed to intercept short-range rockets, as well as shells and mortars, at ranges of between 4km and 70km from the missile launcher"

Anti-drone/UAV tech is discussed here:

Rafael's "David's Sling" targets medium to long-range air and missile threats.
"David's Sling is designed to destroy longer-range rockets, cruise missiles and medium-range or long-range ballistic missiles from a distance of up to 300km."

Rafael's website describes their weapons platforms here:

Rafael developed the tech in collaboration with Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) as well as USA's Raytheon (RTX). UTC (United Technologies Corporation) merged with the Raytheon Company to form Raytheon Technologies in 2020, later renamed RTX Corporation. Collins Aerospace and Pratt & Whitney are part of RTX as well.
