#3 I did a quick google search, and came up with this from Iran, which has video of lots of tank-like things coming up a highway with Arabic overhead road signs. If anyone can read the signs or recognized the vehicles, and is certain the video as well as the article are from today... (I don't know any of things one needs to determine any of that. Sorry.)

#4 Quick glance amateur, not sure how SA has their stuff rigged
20? M113 APC, carry 8?, .50 turret?
4? HMMV, .50 topside?
2 support vehicles which are interesting, are they recovery sleds?

Short, choppy video, maybe more footage afterwards, do not quote me on this (help if appropriate).
