Belly mounted. Most likely optical cameras. Maybe also SAR.

This one is probably not an operational UAV. Anyway, Huitong speculates SAR panels embedded in the leading edges of the wings. I think there should be additional electo-optical sensors on the belly somewhere, but so far I haven't seen any clear image of the underside to confirm.
