A 1990s Buccaneer would keep the airframe

A hypothetical 1990s Buccaneer Mk 10 would likely preserve the aircraft's basic shape while receiving improved avionics.

Question

What would a 1990s Buccaneer Mk 10 look like?

Short answer

Probably much like the existing Buccaneer, but with better avionics rather than a radically altered airframe.

Notes

The Buccaneer's established airframe provides the foundation for a late-service development. Its basic shape would probably remain recognizable because the aerodynamic and low-level strike design already worked. A hypothetical Mk 10 would concentrate investment in avionics, sensors, and other internal systems. The result would be an updated mission aircraft rather than a new airframe carrying an old name.
