Moreover the ejection will have automatically activated the pilot's personal locator beacon, and as the Russians are part of COSPAS/SARSAT, they'll have a pretty good handle on the location as a result. One imagines there will be ships monitoring the site until a salvage capability arrives; they would also be a bit of a giveaway.
10am, doesn't say the time zone, but UK would be a good guess. I would think the ship will be transponding its position and be a visible track and time. Shown on the internet sites, that do this. They have divers securing the site.

It is believed the pilot is recovering and back on the ship following the crash which happened at 10am on Wednesday.
