This paper considers a number of questions of mass transfer 
and energy redistribution in a nonstationary process - superdeep 
penetration (SDP) of a flux of microstrikers into metal obstacles. 
On the basis of the set of known results, under the assumption of 
a dynamic phase transition inhibited at the stage of loss of long 
links due to the severe deformation an approach to the understanding 
of this phenomenon is proposed and estimates of the energetics of 
the SDP process are made.
